The Truth About Morning Sex

There are all sorts of benefits that come from morning sex—the stresses of the day haven’t work you out emotionally, you’re already in bed together, a shower and getting dressed are imminent anyway, and your body is relaxed.

Needless to say, many men desire sex when they first wake up but might be reluctant to ask for it.

For many couples it’s the perfect time to occasionally have sexual intimacy.

But so many skip over it with simple excuses.

The reality is that 25% of people say they are most aroused first thing in the morning, but only 10% of couples have sex at that time.

We’re not proposing you only have sex in the mornings, but with that significant of a gap, we want you to be equipped to overcome the obstacles.

Here are 3 tips for adding morning sex to your marriage toolbox 🛠️

An important marriage-strengthening strategy during tax time is to have open and honest conversations with your spouse.

Financial conversations can be uncomfortable or upsetting. Talking with your spouse often and openly helps break down these barriers.

Discuss any anxiety you may feel about taxes.

You and your spouse likely have different emotions about money, so tax season is a great time to share these feelings and seek to understand each other.

If you are expecting a refund, it’s important to discuss how you plan to use it.

Again, strong emotional intimacy helps create a safe environment for these conversations to occur.
