"Take care of the marriage and the s*x takes care of itself."
It's one of the most damaging myths I hear. And it simply isn't true. Not after the kids. Not after the hormones shift. Not once the honeymoon heat fades.
Because for most couples, that early heat does fade. And when it does, s*x stops happening by accident. From then on it happens on purpose, or it mostly doesn't happen at all.
And that matters far more than people think. A healthy s*x life is good for your spouse, good for you, good for your marriage, and good for your kids to grow up in a loving home.
Sitting back and waiting to "feel like it" tends to produce the opposite.
So you don't wait. You treat it the way you treat your health, your money, your children. You find your green light. You tend to it on purpose and with love.
And where there's a genuine no, you get curious about why, and you address it.
⚠️ This is for marriages that have become s*xually flat, not abusive or coercive. If yours is genuinely unsafe, none of this advice applies.
