Few young newlyweds ever consider the influence their health will have over their sexual experience. If you can’t be open and honest with your spouse about your sex life, you have bigger problems than a boring sex life.

If you want to prevent a boring sex life, talk about sex with your partner. If a couple cannot calmly, fairly, and productively speak about their sexual experience with one another, they cannot have a good sex life. While we are way too open about sex in public, we are way to recluse about the topic in private. Most couples who are unhappy with their sex life experience that unhappiness because of an unwillingness or inability to openly discuss sex with their spouse.

Nothing is more important to a healthy sex life than good communication.

Here is a good resource from a fellow blogger, How to Try New Sexual Positions or Does Your Husband Want More Variety)ģ. (By the way, if you need ideas I’m not suggesting you look at porn. If you are never trying new things, learning new skills, and showing some adventure, your sex life will become boring. It is the byproduct of making love to the same person time and time again learning what they want, need, like, and desire while communicating the same about you to them. Good sex is not the result of having hundreds of experiences with different people. If a couple will continually be learning and expanding their sexual repertoire, they can keep boredom at bay. When sex becomes boring and predictable, a couple has probably fallen into patterns which kill spontaneity and growth. Good sex has far more to do with who we are, when we do it, and why we do it than what we do and how we do it. Determine to have a good sex life and then do everything in your power to make that happen. Without intention, a couple is leaving their romantic future in the hands of chance and chances are it will not be a good ending. A healthy couple chooses to develop and nourish their sexual experience as both a bonding element within their relationship and as a defense against inappropriate relationships. We can take the word “itch” and develop a matrix for an exciting sex life. So how does one avoid the 7 year itch? How do we keep our sexual lives from boredom, predictability, and drudgery? What’s the key to nourishing a vibrant sex life? How do we stay passionately in love with our spouses and guard our hearts from falling for other people? When experienced as an extended period of time which doesn’t end, it kills the relationship. When experienced as a simple season in the midst of a larger story, it doesn’t matter. We go through times in which the relationship feels routine and uninteresting. While the 7 Year Itch is part urban legend, every relationship does experience seasons of boredom. It’s no accident that many divorces happen after seven or eight years of marriage. When a marriage becomes boring, both partners become open to the possibilities of something (more like someone) new. What begins as an exciting, romantic relationship devolves into a predictable, routine interaction without excitement, arousal, or intrigue. The movie’s title comes from a common belief that passionate feelings within a marriage begin to disappear at seven years.
