We naturally assume that sex is part of every successful marriage. After all, can you remember the last time you saw a sitcom or drama where a happily married couple agreed to go to sleep in separate beds, with only a hot water bottle for company?

It fosters togetherness. The intimacy of being so close and touching and experiencing sensations together, along with the act of being naked together, fosters a sense of togetherness and trust. It creates a space that is just for the two of you, where you can be completely yourselves.
