Ignorance is the first enemy of sexual fulfillment in marriage. In an unpublished manuscript on sexual fulfillment in marriage, it is okay to read about and talk about sex with your partner.
How can we fix communication skills dealing with sex with our spouse? What good books are out there to read together and eventually teach our children someday?
My husband and I have enjoyed the book titled "And They Were Not Ashamed" by Laura M. Brotherson. It has some wonderful insights and I would highly recommend it to anyone searching for help and answers. We must be comfortable talking about sex and learning how to express our feelings/thoughts in specific ways to our spouse. God is not vague in communication about sexual intimacy as part of the marriage relationship. Sex should be a celebration. It comes from God. He create dour sexual appetites and natures. He is pleased when He knows we are bonding together sexually in love, for that is His plan of creation.
For those who are single or engaged: Read these books separately and then discuss more after your wedding day. Become educated. Don't have the expectation that the first time will be perfect. It's like trying a sport for the first time. Be considerate of each other.
Life will always be busy, but there's not a right frequency. You need to make sure you are nourishing such a vital part of your marriage. Make it a priority.
