One of the rules of a marriage without boredom is the commandment: "Thou shalt have sex thrice a week." Want to know more?

In a long-term relationship, sex plays a vital role.

Marriage as a burden

Marriage is a known love-killer. Only with additional effort can we escape the trap of monotony of married everyday life. There is a lot of advice, but advice is hard to follow once the reality kicks us in the behind. A website for organizing weddings asked 3000 people, who have been married for at least 10 years, what their secret to marital success is and what the components of a long-term intimate and romantic relationship are. The common consensus was that couples have to work to keep the romance alive and thus the relationship. The main elements of this hard "work" are:

Sex at least three times a week
At least 4 kisses a day
At least 3 cuddling sessions a day
At least 2 shared hobbies
2 romantic dinners a month

Ideal marriage conditions

"Once the wedding-heat passes, it is very important to keep the romance alive with kisses, gentleness and romantic evenings, as clearly shown by our study," explained Carol Richardson, the representative of the company. It has also shown that couples with the highest success rate met through friends and spend 3.5 years together before they get married. The ideal age to get married is 31 for men and 28-29 for women. Once married, the couple should wait about 2.25 years to have children. Once married, however, such advice is of little use.

Sex is also an indicator of marital crisis

The severity of marital crisis can also be measured by the amount of forum posts or chat rooms titled "marriage without sex", "once a month?!?" and the like. Even though many couples make marriage look like the worst nightmare, they still do not consider getting divorced. We suggest that all these strictly adhere to the above advice. Maybe you think that mechanical kissing and sex makes no sense but you are wrong. It is like faith. You do not get faith by seeing God appear in a burning bush. You have to pray and pray again, and follow the rules of your religion and faith will come. It is the same in marriage. Do not give up the ceremonies. Make marriage itself a ceremony and love will follow. And if it does not, at least you cannot say you have not tried when you are getting divorced.
