20 MARRIED SEX Facts and Statistics ... 1 - Most married couples have sex a little over 6 times per month. 2 - Married women are more than twice as likely to have an orgasm as unmarried women. 3 - In 1 out of 4 marriages the wife has the higher sex-drive than the husband. 4 - Roughly 20% of married couples fall into the “sexless marriage” category; defined as having sex less than 10 times per year. Which is totally fine as long as BOTH partners are okay with this. If one is not, that's not healthy. Many of these couples are older married couples, who are unable to have sex. 5 - According to statistics, 75% of married women orgasm during sex. AND many married women don't measure sexual success by orgasms, (but it's definitely very important). Meaning women often still feel connected to their husband, and satisfied, when not achieving an orgasm every time. 6 - The length of a men’s orgasm is roughly 8 seconds long whereas a woman’s orgasm is on average 20 seconds! 7 - The main goal of sex in marriage should be two fold: 1) To please each other person, not seek self-satisfaction first. 2) Re-connection as husband and wife. 8 - God created a woman’s clitoris with 8000 nerve endings .... and its ONLY function is to bring pleasure.

As often as they both mutually agree to. Whether it’s 5 times a a week, 5 times a month, or 5 times a year, it should be mutual agreement. Neither the higher-drive spouse nor the lower sex-drive should NOT be the one that sets the amount of times when it comes to frequency. 12 - COMPLAINTS: Top complaint from MARRIED WOMEN when it comes to sex?

Nothing is worse than feeling like you're begging all the time. 13 - Most husbands feel very emotionally connected to their wife when they have sex with them.

It's designed to connect and reconnect two people into one ... over and over.

In fact, it's so good for your marriage, you should probably be having more of it. 15 - God created married sex for SO many reasons ... * procreation * pleasure * oneness * comfort * bonding * intimate knowledge of one another * connecting AND re-connecting with one another. 16 - Did you know that every time you have sex with your spouse, oxytocin is released into your bodies. Oxytocin is a hormone and neurotransmitter known as the "love hormone" or "cuddle hormone," produced in the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland, crucial for social bonding, trust, and attachment. Oxytocin is an incredible gift that connects you to your spouse. That's why many say sex is a glue in your marriage! 17 - Of course anyone can have sex; it only requires a few body parts. But making love requires intimacy, commitment and a deep loving relationship. Marriage and making love will always require more work, but it's definitely so much better! The world makes sex common, God made sex to be special. 18 - We believe if there is anything physical, mental or emotional keeping you from you from having your best sex life in your marriage, you need to see a doctor.
