We talk about on the Naked Marriage podcast a lot about how scheduling sex is not necessarily a bad thing because you're being intentional about making sure that this is the, you know, we're, we're going to make sure this many times. It's going to be different for every couple that, that we make sure that we are regularly however that looks for every couple having, you know, that we're going to have sex. And I think that so many get caught up on that initiate, you know, that initiating style that we see in the movies that like, well, what about that?
