Michele Weiner Davis in this video clip mentioned the average couple has sex 1.5 times a week. I know, what is the .5? Was it when they were interrupted by a kid knocking at the door? But really, how accurate are these stats? How many times did you have sex with your spouse last week? And do you remember the same number as your spouse? Will it start an argument just bringing it up?

Ok so here is the deal, how about you actually keep track for the next month. Don’t compare yourself to the national average, just keep track for yourself and see if what you think you do is actually what you do. Michele in another video clip said that having more sex helps couples grow so I’m sure it can help us all! The Bible says to only refrain from sex in marriage when you both agree to have a concentrated focus on prayer and even that should only be for a limited time (1 Cor. 7:3-5
So here is the challenge: instead of trying to beat the national average, take a month to improve your sex life. Start by talking. Include things like what you want, need, and enjoy. Also include any hurt, frustration or obstacles. Make sure both partners feel heard.
Next, go practice what you talked about. What emotional changes do you see in your relationship? Ideally more sex will benefit the relationship, but we all know we do not live in an ideal world. For those of you who fight about sex and disagree, I want to hear from you too. Let me know how it goes! (just remember to keep the conversation family friendly, for our younger audience)
