Being apart from your spouse is something that many couples deal with at some point in their marriage.

It could be a business trip, family obligations, military deployment, or another reason. When you’re separated from your spouse, you have to put in extra effort to keep your intimacy strong.

That’s where long distance date ideas come in handy.

Physical distance doesn’t have to mean your intimacy takes a hit. With a little creativity and effort, you can keep the romance alive and your love strong even when you’re long distance.

Approximately two-thirds (63%) of the ONE Family have spent at least a week apart from their spouse. So, if that’s you, you’re in good company!

Today's Trivia Answer

Less than half of the ONE Family has tried using sex furniture to enhance their sex positions.

Sex pillows and wedges are game changers in marriage.

They change your physical perspective during sex—no matter the time of day, location, or position—and therefore change your sexual experience.

Something as simple as elevating your head, torso, pelvic area, or even your legs can create a brand-new experience for the two of you.

As a result, your sexual intimacy changes, and your marriage grows stronger.

Sex pillows, wedges, and ramps have incredible benefits, yet 53% of the ONE Family has never tried using these items during sex.

That means 53% of you are missing out on benefits like these:

  • Improved sexual experience
  • New possibilities for more pleasure
  • Deeper and more intense thrusting
  • Added support for new and familiar positions
  • Reduced or eliminated body aches and pains during sex

Let's change that!
