As a marriage counselor in Raleigh, NC, I work with couples and individuals who want to work on themselves and their relationships and grow. I help couples use their conflicts and distress as an opportunity to evolve and learn about themselves and how their behavior impacts their marriage and/or family.

One topic that I often discuss with my clients in marriage counseling sessions is scheduling sex dates.

Why is Scheduling Sex Dates Important When it Comes to Marriage?

Even while it might feel awkward to have to schedule sex on your calendar, most of the couples I meet with have one or more children, have been together for years, and have reached the point in life where if you don't schedule something on the calendar, it is not going to happen.

Not because you don't want to, but because life is so busy nowadays. We are constantly bombarded with all these external stimuli; something must always be done or taken care of.

So, taking your sex life into your own hands and scheduling your sex dates or combining your date nights with your sex dates is excellent.

There is no such thing as spontaneity when you have been together for a few years, have kids together, have jobs, and have responsibilities. At this stage of life, most couples swap spontaneity for anticipation.

And there is nothing bad about this. Anticipation allows us to look forward to that intimate time together, to emotionally and physically prepare for it, and hopefully even to openly discuss our desires, expectations, and fantasies. Scheduling sex allows us to get to know each other and ourselves better and enrich our sexual lives.

The Benefits of Scheduling Sex Dates in Your Marriage

Scheduling sex dates with your partner can benefit your relationship on several levels. Here are some of them.

Scheduling Sex Increases Anticipation and Excitement For Your Marriage

Planning a specific date and time for intimacy can increase your enthusiasm and excitement, enhancing the overall experience. Having something to look forward to is highly beneficial for our mental health and well-being. So, scheduling sex dates with your spouse can also help you feel more optimistic, connected, and happier.

Scheduling Sex Dates Reduces Marriage Stress

The disparity in sexual needs, habits, and wants is an issue that almost all couples face at some point in their relationship, either sooner or later. However, different sexual desires and expectations can create tension in your marriage, opening the door to feelings of guilt, shame, disappointment, and resentment.

When sex is planned in advance, there is less pressure to initiate or do it spontaneously. This can help alleviate feelings of tension and anxiety and make the experience more pleasurable.

Putting a Sex Date on Your Calendar Prioritizes Intimacy

It's important to show your partner that you value intimacy and are dedicated to keeping up a healthy sexual connection with them, and scheduling sex dates is a great way to do both of those things.

Scheduling Sex Allows You to Manage Your Busy Schedules

Putting a sex date on your calendar makes arranging it around hectic schedules possible. If you and your partner have hectic schedules, scheduling sex might help you prioritize your sexual connection and make time for each other.

Booking Your Sex Date Improves Communication

It is important to communicate with your spouse and plan your intimacy in advance. Doing so may improve the quality of your relationship by allowing you to talk more openly and better understand each other's wants and needs.
