Dr. Romance Video: How Can You Improve Your Sex Life In Marriage?

By Dr. Tina Tessina. Posted on Feb 1st 2013.

It is easy to reboot your sex life at any age, according to marriage and family therapist Dr.Romance

* Newlywed Sex: Recreate your first married days: the time you met your husband at the door wearing only a negligee, surprise flowers, or silly, wildly in love things you said then.

* Make-up Sex: After an argument or a struggle, lovemaking can be extra tender and memorable.

* Comforting Sex: When one of you is sad or stressed, the other can be especially tender and soothing.

* Relaxing Sex: Laze around, have breakfast in bed, and make love for as long as you want; no pressure, no hurry and no demands on each other.

* Reassuring Sex: Tender affection reassures a partner who is temporarily insecure, and reaffirms your mutual love and commitment. Declare your love and remember how important it is.

* Fantasy Sex: Act out all the silly, forbidden or exciting fantasies: Nurse and patient (or doctor), children "playing house", famous movie star and adoring fan, or your two favorite characters from a soap opera, novel or movie. If you feel a little silly, laughter will only make it more fun.
