Sure, in a marriage, there could be loads of other important tasks and decisions to be made on a daily basis. But, for the health and longevity of the relationship, sex must always be prioritized. And if you consciously do that, think of the other benefits: sex alleviates anxiety and stress, reduces blood pressure, promotes healing and bonding.

Men want to share their fantasies but worry their wives will shame or judge them,” says Dr. Kort. Encourage your man to speak his heart out to you. Why stick to the same old routine day after day? Ask him what excites him and then go with the flow. You can even reveal your own fantasies with him and open yourself to these possibilities.
