A couple’s marriage and their sexual relationship are intricately connected. It has been shown that when a couple’s sex life is ignored or suffering, it directly affects the health of their marriage. As Frank Sinatra used to sing, “You can’t have one without the other.”
In order for our marriage to grow, it must be nurtured. This demands time for talking together, dating each other, and making occasions for intimate encounters to occur. But what happens when children are added to your family? Those of us who have children know how difficult it can be to find moments to be alone.
Someone once said that “sex causes little children, and children cause little sex.” See if you can identify with the following video clip from a FamilyLife seminar.
After watching this clip, I personally would have suggested to the Raineys that they should have installed a lock on their bedroom door. 
I highly recommend this to the students in my classes. I can’t imagine a woman being able to relax without one.
There’s a great book I read called, No Time for Sex by David and Claudia Arp. It is filled with helpful ideas on how a married couples can find ways to spend time together, even in the midst of raising children.
Do your marriage a favor and get yourselves a copy of this book.
