Still keeping with this month’s love theme, I reflect this morning on another word that married couples differ on and that’s sex.

This is a subject that some feel as “taboo” yet it is a primary vital function in marriage. And often couples differ so much on this that it causes problems within their relationship.

Have you ever argued about sex? Have you ever had interferences in your sex life such as children, the phone ringing or someone at the door? Have you ever scheduled a time or made a date for sex? Have you ever refused your spouse sex? Have you ever been angry at your spouse over sex? Have you ever rewarded your spouse with sex?

Right now as I type the word sex I can hear our kids going “blablablabla gross” as they scrunch their faces and put their fingers in their ears. They are married adults, but still do not want to hear their old parents talk about sex, or see them kiss. (stay tuned for the post on PDA)

My key to less problems in a couples sex life is, being able to talk about it with each other freely. You each need to know what the other is thinking, feeling and needing regarding sex. When this communication doesn’t happen, there are assumptions made that can lead to damaging problems, even divorce.

Okay take your fingers out of your ears and go strike up a sex conversation with your spouse!
