No one ever thinks they’ll experience sexual boredom in their marriage. And yet, that is exactly what may have happened for the two of you. Oh, it wasn’t intentional.

But the road to sexual boredom is paved in a steady downgrade.

Maybe there were so many other things during the course of your married life that required your full attention that your sex life got the scraps of your creativity.

Or maybe it was an “I’m so tired, baby. Can we just make it quick?” that led to “Shhhh, the kids will hear.”

That led to “I’m sore from the gym. Can you be on top again?” that led to…. That led to…

No matter what “maybe” led to it, now there’s no “maybe” about it. You’re in sexual purgatory.

“Now, hold on a second,” you might be shouting from your comfortable and replicable sex life. “At least we’re better than those sad souls a bit lower than us on the sexual ladder. At least we’re doing something!”

True. You can justify it ’cause, hey, at least it’s happenin’.

Yet, there is still a sexual heaven you always used to dream of—one where you were both super flexible, creative, insatiable, and talked a lot after.

If that’s you—if you want to “level up“ and make that dream a reality in your marriage—then try these few things to escape the rut of sexual boredom.

We know that even reading about this topic makes some people feel uncomfortable. And if you and your spouse feel exactly the same way about your bodily functions you don’t need to read on.

However, in just about every marriage there’s one spouse who feels more private about certain functions than their spouse, and if left unresolved, this can result in significant loss of intimacy.

Among the ONE Family, 53% of you close the door when using the restroom around your spouse; 47% of you prefer to keep the door open.

Tony generally prefers the bathroom door to be closed; Alisa thinks that energy is a waste and leaves it open.

Our bodies all have natural functions that we can't control.

Acknowledging that they happen is foundational to honesty in marriage.

However, witnessing your spouse’s experience of them is a matter of personal preference.

For most married couples, forgiveness is a daily practice. Whether you're letting go of the little things (like your spouse loading the dishwasher “wrong”) or reeling from a deeper betrayal like infidelity or secret spending... it still hurts. We’re human, and we all make mistakes. But when all you feel is pain, it’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of resentment. What we've learned over the years is that forgiveness isn’t about excusing the behavior or letting your spouse off the hook. It’s...

You need real insight into what’s happening, plus proven ideas for what you can actually do about it. That’s what today’s article covers. Because your desire matters,...
