I hear this loads! If you get married – your sex life will die. There is no sex in the marital bed. Single people have more sex etc etc.
Sure, sometimes couples of all ages may go through phases where sex fades out temporarily but this doesn’t mean sex is gone forever! Re-igniting that sexual connection together has huge potential for emotional development!
This is a myth!
All the research points to marriage still being the hot seat of more and more varied sex than what singles experience. Oral sex is much more common in marriage than with singles.
Marriage is not the death of sex and intimacy like so many wrongly believe. It’s by going through these interpersonal problems in a long term relationship that can transform a couples sex life.
