One of the most difficult issues to talk about is sex in a relationship; most couples are not open with one another and get embarrassed to even broach the topic.
These are a few common mistakes:
The first big mistake is that sex gets replaced having to be a duty rather then enjoyment between two people and that can be less than fulfilling.
The second mistake is that many couples get into a routine where the intimacy in the marriage or relationship takes second to everything else that is going on. Looking at sex as an act that two people just have instead of a loving experience that the couple can enjoy together is part of the problem.
Making the sex better in a relationship needs to be placed in an important priority. Sex is the one area that a couple can connect with one another in a way that is personal and intimate to them. The bonding that takes place through sexual intimacy is not only pleasurable but the body releases hormones that promote closeness.
The third mistake is when couples think that because they are married now that the sex is available to have anytime. This is far from reality in many marriages, in fact statics quote that after the first year of marriage sex decreases by half.
Taking the time to make sex in your relationship a priority and learning new ways to excite and please your spouse will keep the intimacy and love growing over time.
