1. Passion, Passion, Passion

The best relationship you can have is with someone who’s your best friend and your lover. If you’re in a relationship that’s become sex-less, you might as well be dating just a friend. Yes, it’s that simple. Relationships need passion. They need excitement and sexiness. Having sex with your partner keeps the passion alive. It makes the relationship desirable, stimulating, and fun.

2. Stress-Free

Having sex helps relieves stress. It releases endorphins and other hormones that make you feel good. When you’re stress free and feel great, you function better.

3. Keeping the Connection Alive

Sex is something simple you can do to make yourself (and your partner!) very happy. It promotes intimacy, reassurance, and shows you both that you’re wanted and needed. It tells your partner that you can still make time for each other. Sex a form of communication. It’s a way of assuring your significant other that the love is still there and everything is okay, regardless of how stressful life becomes.

4. Sleep Tight

Sex helps you sleep better. It’s not just the fabulous romp session that makes you sleep like a baby. After sex, a chemical called oxytocin is released, which helps you sleep soundly.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. It Makes You Happy

People who have sex very often are generally happier than those who don’t. Having sex puts an extra pep in your step. It also boots your self-confidence and gives you a better positive attitude about yourself.

6. Keeps Your Partner Happy

When men are stressed, sex makes them feel better. It makes them feel wanted and needed. Plain and simple, having sex makes a man feel good about himself. If you’re in a sex-less relationship, your partner isn’t 100% satisfied. It’s a no-brainer that if he isn’t happy with your sex life, he’s going to start looking for sex from someone else.

Sex is the glue that’s needed in a relationship. It re-connects you and puts you in tune with your partner. Sex keeps your relationship alive. Don't you agree?

Maybe this should be renamed 6 reasons for having a healthy sex life. As we know one does not need to be in a relationship to have sex, and some people in relationships choose to delay it or not have it at all. There are other ways to satisfy a partner physically besides actual intercourse. And yes I agree that sex is not the be all, end all. But unfortunately there are some people in relationships that put more value on it than other things and will seek it elsewhere if they aren't satisfied.

I completely disagree with this article, yes sex can spice up a relationship but it is not the all that ends all in a relationship. Passion and happiness can be strong in a relationship with sex. Their are many relationships that strive om being sexless as the choice of the man or the women and they are happy. Futuremore many youth follow this blog/app and telling them the importance of sex in a relationship is not right. It could lead to some wrong decisions being made. Sex does not truly equate to happiness.

I think sex is important in a marriage, but not in a dating relationship.

This article implies that sex is something fun that spice up a relationship and if you are in a sexless relationship, you might as well just date a friend. It's not a necessity.
