Ask for what you want. Be vocal about what you like, and don't be afraid to speak up when something doesn't work for you. If you aren't clear about your needs, then your partner won't know how to meet those needs.  Be as frank and open as possible. Cultivate a relationship that is build around clear communication. The more you talk about this, the easier it will be! If you want more sex, don't be afraid to say so, but don't demand it. Explain why you don't feel that you're getting enough, and find a solution that the two of you can agree upon. Make sure that you and your partner have a mutual understanding about the rules and expectations of the relationship. A relationship is a mutual understanding, and it is your responsibility to maintain that understanding. Define the sort of relationship that you want, and make the relationship itself an act of discussing that balance.  Talk about when and where it's okay to have sex. Preferences to change over time, which is fine, but you need to keep your partner up-to-date. Decide whether you are exclusive. If not, make sure that you agree about who each of you can and cannot have sex with. Be clear and be truthful. If you leave this part murky, then you could damage your relationship and seriously hurt someone. Each of you should feel equally empowered to negotiate the terms of the conversation. Someone will probably need to initiate the conversation, and that person may well be you—but you can still create space for your partner to speak his or her mind. Listen. Be patient.  Avoid accusatory "you" statements like, "You never want to have sex anymore!" Instead, focus on the way that things make you feel, or try to remain objective. Say, "I feel that our sex drives have been unbalanced lately," or "I want to open up a dialogue about the way that our sex life has been lately."  Again: a relationship is a mutual understanding. A healthy sex life is built upon communication. Don't let one person make all of the moves! Consent is an important factor in order for both you and your partner to have a good time in bed. Talk about what you both want and not want during sex. And to then understand that persons boundaries. This can be a great way to get comfortable discussing intimacy with your partner. Bring it up when you both have free time to talk. Check in to see that you're on the same page, and that the current arrangement is working for both of you. Be unabashed and matter-of-fact about this sort of communication. If you don't act like it's weird, then it won't be weird.

One-sentence summary -- Be communicative. Stay on the same page. Make it a dialogue. Talk about sex when you're not having sex.

Q: Pour the apple cider, apple juice, white sugar, and brown sugar into a large pot. Add the clove and cinnamon, then bring the mixture to a boil. Once the mixture has begun to boil, reduce the heat to medium low and let simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once combined, take the mixture off heat and allow to cool completely. Don't skimp on this step—adding the alcohol while the mixture is too hot will greatly decrease the potency of the drink! Pour in the Everclear and vanilla vodka and stir until mixed in. If you don't have access to 190 proof Everclear, you can use 5 cups of 150 proof instead for the same effect. If you're going to be drinking the mixture right away, pour into glasses and serve. Alternatively, you can bottle the drink and refrigerate for consumption at a later time.
A: Combine non alcoholic ingredients. Simmer the mixture. Cool. Stir in the alcohol. Serve.

Article: Owner financed sales are rare, and you shouldn’t jump into one until you have thoroughly considered your situation. Think about the following:  You usually must own the house free and clear of any mortgage. Otherwise, you will need your lender to give you permission to sell. Taxes can be complicated and you’ll want to hire a tax professional to help you. You might have to go through the foreclosure process if the buyer stops making payments. This can be costly and time-consuming. However, you may make much more money on an owner financed sale than if you sell the traditional way. Buyers usually like owner financed sales because a seller might be less choosy than a bank or mortgage lender. However, you should consider the following:  You might have to come up with a larger down payment than you normally would. The owner-seller is taking a risk by financing your sale, and in return they might want a larger down payment or higher interest. Owner financed sales often close faster than other sales. You need to be sure you can make the balloon payment if one is written into the contract. If you break the contract, then you could lose the house and all of the payments you have made up to that point. This option is often more advantageous for the buyer and less complicated for the seller. You and the person interested in your home will lock in a potential sale price for the home, as well as a lease agreement ranging from 2 to 5 years. During that time, the person will pay you rent on the home, with a portion of that rent going toward a down payment on the house. After the lease ends, the person can choose to proceed with the sale as arranged, or they can opt to walk away.  If they walk away, they don't get a refund on the extra money they paid toward the down payment. If they do walk away, you'll need to relist your home.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Analyze your situation as a seller. Determine if an owner financed sale is ideal as a buyer. Consider a lease-to-own option.

Article: Some fresh air can help to keep you awake and alert. If you tend to stay inside much of the day, take a few breaks and head outside. Getting some sunlight (especially in the morning) can help regulate your waking and sleeping cycles so that you’re fully awake during the day and can sleep well at night.  Take a walk during your lunch break or ask to meet with people outside. For example, if you have a dog, go for a walk each morning so you can maximize your sun exposure. Engaging in social activities can help to keep you alert and involved. Find a friend to talk to. This might also be a good time to make any necessary phone calls.  Avoid using instant messaging to communicate; it’s best to speak in-person or over the phone to stay awake. Talk to another student or co-worker throughout your day. Schedule regular meetings so that you can be continuously engaged. Avoid reaching for the sugary snacks and grab something that will give you long-lasting energy. For example, try eating a handful of nuts or a bowl of fresh fruit. Spread some nut butter on a whole grain cracker or eat a yogurt. When you get a craving for a snack, get in the habit of fueling yourself for long-term energy to help avoid any lows that might make you drowsy or tired. If you’re struggling to stay awake, get up and take a 10-minute walk. Moving around can increase blood flow and provide oxygen throughout your body. Simple movement can help increase energy for up to 2 hours.  If you can’t take a walk, do some stretches or movements to wake up your body. Try some jumping jacks or burpees. If possible, use the gym or attend a yoga class in the morning or during lunchtime. Adding a supplement to your day can help to increase energy and keep you awake. For example, B vitamins are known to help increase energy, especially if your diet is low in B vitamins. However, beware of supplements that promise energy without any research or support.  Speak to your physician before starting any new supplements or medications. Be cautious of using stimulants like caffeine as they can increase feelings of anxiety.  Caffeine may also affect the quality of your sleep.
