While glamorized by the media as something universally enjoyable and satisfying, sex is not always that way. It is scientifically proven that women often take extended amounts of time to become aroused, while men are often quicker to be excited. If intimacy is forced it will not be enjoyable.
While held up by the world as a form of recreation most would agree that there is more to sex than just having fun. It is an opportunity for a special bond to be created between two individuals. Because of hormones and feelings this shared experience can create a powerful bond that when broken or neglected will cause pain.
The feeling of vulnerability often accompanies shared intimacy and can provide an opportunity for trust to replace fear or doubt.
Contrary to popular belief it is not required for newly married couples to have sex on their wedding night, they should let their relationship progress naturally. If forced it can be an awkward and unsatisfying experience, setting a hard precedent to overcome.
Intimacy is a natural and necessary part of marriage. If taken out of context or forced it will not be as fulfilling or unifying as it has the potential to be. Wherever you are at in your marriage or relationships remember that mutual respect and patience are principles that never go obsolete.
