Scheduling Sex Works

Many married couples want to bring back the sense of delight and having that butterflies in the stomach feeling. They express concerns about being able to keep their sex life alive when they are either too tired or too busy to be sexually intimate with each other.

Along with these top three ways to spice up your sex life, there's something else you can do. In addition to putting date nights on your calendar, consider scheduling time for sex, too.

Tammy Nelson, PhD: "In our busy lives most of us make time for what is crucial - work, sleep, food. But sex is crucial to the survival of intimate relationships. Making time for it means you can be as spontaneous as you want - if you plan it ... Make the sex date with your partner a regular commitment in your relationship and watch how your relationship grows from distant to intimate in only a few weeks."

Scheduling sex works for many couples. Try it.

Although sometimes it does seem silly, life gets busy. Scheduling sex may be the only way a couple can keep intimate to maintain a happy marriage.
