A short conversational video/transcript featuring Dave and Ashley Willis discussing the idea that sexual life goes through different "seasons." They introduce the "beach season" (the honeymoon phase) — high frequency and passion early in marriage — and caution that remaining in that phase permanently is unrealistic and can distract from deeper relationship-building.
Chapters
Every season of life and every season of sex is going to look a little different, and that's okay. And just helping you think about it that way can bring a lot of peace and understanding to every season of your sex life.
So the first one is what we refer to as the beach season. And as you can imagine, for most of us when we're newlyweds, that's what that feels like. You know, it's like sex is hot. It's happening frequently. You kind of, maybe you went to a literal beach on your honeymoon. People think that maybe that's how it should always be, right? Or how it's going to stay. And if you've been married any length of time, you realize that. That that's not necessarily true. And honestly, it shouldn't necessarily be that way, because I'm just going to be real honest. The beach is fun. But even in real life, when you go to the beach, if you stay out there too long, you get burned. I feel like if sex, you know, if you're constantly at this on the beach, so to speak, and in this honeymoon phase, it's like you're not. You're maybe focusing too much on sex and not enough on building a relationship South.
