Reasons Why Married Sex is Better

Once you’ve been married for a while, you might notice friends or other couples getting in occasional jabs about how your sex life is going now that you’re married. There is an unfair stereotype that once you are married, your sex life is boring or non-existent! But in fact, the opposite is usually true: sex is better for married couples than for those that are single. Let’s take a closer look at 5 reasons why married sex is simply the best.

You have plenty of time to know each other’s bodies

Being in a long-term, committed relationship such as marriage tends to give you much more time to get to know each others' bodies, needs and desires.  When you’re a married couple, you have all the time in the world to explore your spouse’s body; this helps you get to know them on an intimate level and better yet, get to know what they like in a way that wasn’t possible before marriage.  You're also much more likely to be together more often, giving you more opportunities for intimacy and sex.

Married couples get to try new experiences without worrying about being judged

For those who aren't married, it’s easier to feel apprehensive about suggesting something new. For married couples however, it’s easier to communicate with your spouse about trying new experiences in the bedroom. Married sex can be so surprisingly varied and interesting that you may find new things to try for years to come!  And with all the learning and experience you better learn what you like and how to be satisfied sexually.

Married sex can happen any time of the week

For those who are simply dating someone, sex is pretty limited. You can only have sex if you’re together, and you can only be together if you’re both off work and have no other obligations - and so on. Once you’re married however, the opportunities for sex widen to almost any day of the week. Thursday evening? Why not! Saturday morning? Sure! The opportunities are endless when it comes to fitting in sex as a married couple. While things can be more complicated once kids enter the picture, it’s still much easier to find time for sex when you live together as a married couple.

You get to take time to set the mood for the evening

There’s nothing wrong with a "quickie" now and then, but the best sex tends to be sex where you can prepare by setting the mood. When you’re married, you don’t have to worry about speed cleaning your apartment before your boyfriend or girlfriend comes over or trying to rush things because you have work in the morning and they need to leave. You’ll have much more time to truly set the mood for the evening with dinner, lighting, and music and - why not - even raised petals.

Married sex carries an emotional connection

One of the most overlooked yet highly valuable aspects of married sex is the emotional connection that comes with sex as a married couple. Once you have committed to spending the rest of your lives together, sex becomes so much more than physical pleasure: it’s an intimate, emotional connection that will carry you for the rest of your lives.

Remember the above reasons why married sex is great the next time that someone casually jabs at you during a dinner party!
