I am a fulltime wife and mother of three boys so far... I have been introduced to A LOT in the last six years of marriage... and am hoping to learn lots more!
I had this crazy doctor a couple of years back who would not let you leave his office without talking about sex.  I did not grow up with this freedom and often got pretty uncomfortable.  However, I have to say that my marriage was changed forever because of his wisdom!  He very casually informed us of the exchange of neuropeptides in the act of intercourse.  He told us that there was research done finding neuropeptides from the husband in the wife briefly after intercourse.  The main benefit to the marriage is you begin to think more like your spouse.  My husband and I have experienced it first hand.  If we go too long (which is about three days!) without having intercourse, we begin to pick on each other more.  We tend to focus more on our weaknesses than being thankful for our strengths.  I used to see it more in my husband but lately, I've noticed how affected I am as well! Sounds crazy... I know... but we are living proof.

It also makes you wonder about marriages where intercourse has decreased or become non-existent.  Or what about the marriages out there that only have sex with condoms, preventing the neuropeptides to be exchanged?  Maybe this is an easy explanation for why long time married couples begin to look alike:) or why there are so many divorces.

Whatever it is, God definitely designed intercourse to bring a couple together, emotionally and physically and I don't want to miss out on all that He has for my marriage and family.
