People underestimate or rather don't realise how important sex is for the relationship to flourish.

It has not been part of our culture for last 4 5 centuries. But I think the folks before that understood just how vital sex is, especially for newly weds.

Sex releases oxytocin, strengthens emotional bond and reduces stress. Physical intimacy stabilizes hormones around mood and well-being while releasing endorphins that decrease irritability and depression.

Engaging in sexual activity lowers cortisol and adrenaline (the primary stress-response hormones), helping your nervous system settle and making you more resilient

Regular physical connection makes couples feel closer, which can reduce the severity of fights.

Now this goes without saying that it must always, without any exception be consensual.

And I am not advocating meaningless encounters, but please wet the bedsheets as much as possible.
