The More The Sex, The Happier The Marriage!

The more sex you have, the happier you will be… fact or fiction? Just like your car, you need to keep up with the maintenance schedule to make sure it runs well. Similarly, you need to maintain your sex life to enjoy a healthy marriage! Who does not enjoy hot, steamy sex with their own spouse? Trust me, there are people who get bored with sex and do not do it as much, which is going to make their marriage crumble without realising it. Your partner may always want to get it on, but sometimes all you want to do is binge on your latest Netflix obsession. Sex sounds time-consuming and irritating. Or maybe your partner somehow seems too tired or stressed when you just want to have sex. It is important to have healthy sex in long-term relationships, even though you're not necessarily horny. Of course there are still going to be two separate sex drives between you and your partner, it's important to remember that this is common.

For example, when one partner is not "in the mood" and does not feel like he or she needs to be, the partner with a higher libido feels embarrassed to desire sex. So, Why You Should Have More Sex With Your Spouse? Researchers have found that couples who reported a stronger sexual afterglow were more likely to report greater marital satisfaction 4-6 months later, compared with couples with a weaker sexual afterglow. The emotional and psychological benefits of making love are distinct. Sex is closely associated with a higher quality of life. Some of these advantages include: Sex Can Relieve Stress Photo Credit: Adobe Stock Chronic stress could lead to a lower amount of sex. However, sex can be an effective strategy for handling stress. Isn't that an added bonus? Sex reduces stress hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline (epinephrine), with effects which could last until the next day. Now, that's cool - you get satisfaction and better health!

If your partner really needs you, just go for it. I can assure you that you will feel so much better after that. Sex is like hitting the gym, you might not feel like it at first, but you will feel amazing when you suck it up and hit the treadmill. Intimacy Grows When You Are Having Sex With Your Partner Photo Credit: Adobe Stock Sex promotes intimacy. Orgasms release oxytocin, a good bonding hormone for the body. Sex makes your partner feel closer to you. It takes continuous effort to have a relationship and a balanced sex life. You must check in with each other and check the "temperature" of your relationship on a regular basis. So, do not miss out just because you are tired from working or just want to watch television. Sex Promotes Physical Fitness Photo Credit: Adobe Stock In fact, having sex is a form of exercise. Sexual activity is equivalent to moderate physical activity, such as walking fast or climbing two flights of stairs, according to the American Heart Association. Sexual motion may tighten and tone the muscles of the abdomen and pelvis, while for women it may improve muscle tone and increase control of the bladder.
