When you get married, it’s not just love and affection that keeps the bond alive. A close sense of intimacy and togetherness is essential for your relationship to blossom and prosper.
Sex is said to be one of the factors that help increase the level of closeness and intimacy between you and your partner.
Besides having innumerable health benefits, sex can enrich your marital status and improve your relationship. If you’re wondering how, you should know about 4 sure-shot benefits of sex in marriage.
- Married sex is more comfortable
Let’s face it, sex with an unofficial partner is often uncomfortable. One of the main reasons is that you are not comfortable with someone the way you met when you were in a committed relationship. It takes time to get to know each other’s bodies to figure out what works. In a long-term relationship, you have the opportunity to explore and experiment with what feels good for you and your partner.
More comfort in married intercourse results in less stress and anxiety, which naturally makes it more enjoyable.
- You can have married sex whenever you want
When you live with your partner, you have the opportunity to be extra busy whenever the mood strikes.
In marriage, you don’t have to worry about where and when your sex will come. Being married gives you more of an opportunity to create lasting chemistry and forge intimacy than if you were dating someone and seeing them only a few times a week.
- You can make your long-term sex bucket list together
In marriage, with long-term commitment, couples who want to leave no stone unturned and live with a ‘no regrets’ philosophy, may want to open a bottle of wine and open drinks, come into the bedroom with their mutual bucket list.
This is a big deal in marriage because you have a commitment, you have time to consider, reject, come back and plan as your sexual dreams come true.
- You may become more vulnerable
With more comfort, often comes the ability to become more vulnerable. When one feels safe and able to be vulnerable, their inhibitions drop, allowing them to fully let go and experience every joyful moment. Feeling more comfortable in front of your partner allows you to be fully present during sexual activity, making it more enjoyable.
