Why Sex Should Be a Priority in Your Marriage

Why You Should Prioritise Sex in Your Marriage

In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy for sex to become less of a priority in your marriage. But here’s the truth: intimacy isn’t just a physical need. It’s vital for a healthy, happy relationship.

The Importance of Sex

Research shows that couples who engage in regular, satisfying sex are happier and more emotionally connected. One study found that couples who have sex once a week are 16% more likely to report high relationship satisfaction than those who have sex less frequently.

But it’s not just about frequency—quality matters. Intimacy releases oxytocin, the “bonding hormone,” helping to strengthen emotional connections and trust.

The Cost of Neglecting Intimacy

When sex is neglected, emotional and physical disconnection often follows. Couples with low sexual satisfaction tend to experience dissatisfaction in other areas of their relationship, leading to feelings of frustration, loneliness, and resentment.

How to Make Sex a Priority

Making intimacy a priority doesn’t require major life changes, just intentional effort. Here’s how to start:

1. Schedule it: Life is busy, so make time for each other.

2. Communicate openly: Talk about your desires and concerns.

3. Keep it spontaneous: Surprise each other with affection.

4. Reduce the pressure: Intimacy doesn’t need to be perfect.

5. Create a relaxing environment: A cozy, inviting space can set the mood.
