What is the glue that holds a marriage together? Some say it's love, shared interests and values, respect and trust.....and sex. Good old fashioned pull my hair..get the sheets wet...back breaking and heart pounding sex. S.E.X. Is it enough? Do we put too much emphasis on this area or not enough?
Through personal conversations I've had over the years I've heard men comment that once the marriage occurs the loving stops. No more afternoon getaways or midnight rendezvous...men complain that women are too tired or lose their interest and this causes them to lose interest in the marriage. Women, on the other hand, tend to comment that their needs change. They aren't able to participate as fully in their sexual lives because of children and work and keeping the house clean and the lack of affection displayed by their husbands. Their seems to be a division on the importance of keeping up physical intimacy in marriage.
I think sexual connection is a vital part of marriage. I don't believe it's the one and only thing that holds a marriage together but I do believe it plays a significant role. All the aspects of sexual intimacy must be cultivated by husband and wife. As wives, we need to let our husbands know what we need to maintain that physical longing for them; and we should create an environment where our husbands are comfortable enough to share what their needs are without fear of judgement. It's important that we take each other's needs into consideration and place value on these needs in order to have them met.
Marriage is forever. It is up to us to help make our forever magical. This will happen with ongoing communication, continued trust and respect for each other, spiritual connectivity and....sexual intimacy. So is sex over rated or under rated in a marriage?
It's up to each spouse to find a wonderful balance with each other to make sex a joyful part of their union.

I think women should have their husbands provide a nanny housekeeper cook and driver.....sooooo the wives can workout to stay in shape and buy new thongs everyday and have sex at a drop a hat when either person is in heat:)......
