How often should married couples have sex? Should a good sex life come naturally? And what does it really mean to be sexually compatible?
These are questions many couples carry into marriage, sometimes without ever talking about them openly. And when reality doesn't match their expectations, it's easy to wonder whether something is wrong with the relationship.
In this episode of Love, Life, and Legacy, Andrew and Benjy challenge six common beliefs about sex in marriage and share what they've learned about building deeper, more fulfilling intimacy over time.
From the pressure to have sex a certain number of times to the fear that two people are simply incompatible, they explore why lasting intimacy takes more than physical attraction. It takes honest conversations, a willingness to keep learning about each other, and a shift from focusing only on personal expectations to caring about each other's experience.
What You'll Hear in This Episode:

Why talking openly about sex can bring couples closer together
Why a fulfilling sexual relationship takes intention, communication, and practice

Why learning to care about each other's joy can transform intimacy over time
A healthy sex life doesn't have to look like someone else's. Couples change, bodies change, and seasons of marriage change. What matters is being willing to keep understanding each other and finding a rhythm that works for both of you.
