Marriage Prep #2

Mama told me husbands and wives would argue about sex. But it's not usually arguing...but cold silence. Getting a man and woman to sink up in their sexuality and need is a dicey proposition. Couples that are successful sexually have learned how to communicate well and also still enjoy each other over the passing of years.

Stastically--I've learned that something like half of all married couples are frustrated sexually. Frequency and willingness are two key factors in a fulfilling sex life, but it's so much more. Emotional connection, friendship, romance, and communication also play key roles as the years roll by.

Likewise, couples shouldn't give up when sex doesn't sink up easily. Managing small children can often drain couples (especially women) in the early years of marriage. But this phase passes quickly, and couples can learn how to find their pace and romance again. Having a date night regularly is a helpful, as is bits of romance here and there and quiet talks alone at night. Take the TV out of the bedroom! Oprah's right! The bedroom is for other activity if a marriage is going to stay strong.
