Sex definitely does not have to get boring in a long-term marriage. As the years go by, your sex life should get better. You both know each other so well by now. What makes each other feel good, likes, dislikes, habits and so on. But, we do know that life can get in the way. Chores, kids, finances and so on can put a damper on the romance. These everyday things can interfere with both our desire and finding the time to put into our sex life. You do not want to put sex last on the list. Some of you may need some help figuring out how to both prioritize sex and keep it exciting. Communication is the key to a healthy and active sex life in a marital relationship, so talk with one another more! Chatting about superficial things can be fun, but remember to go deeper in order to really establish intimacy. Be sure to talk about your innermost thoughts and feelings. Do so frequently! Share with one another your sexual desires. Be open and honest about what you want. You do not have to use this time to be critical of your partner. Just assert what you want more of in the bedroom and what makes you feel good.
