The 9 Most Common Questions About Sex

The preferred statistical average is a couple times per week, but this is really an issue to work out in your marriage. I’d suggest talking about it and leaning towards the preference of whichever spouse desires it more often. It takes a lot more than sex to build a strong marriage, but it’s nearly impossible to build a strong marriage without it! Make it a priority. It will make a big difference in your marriage.

9. How (and when) should I talk to my kids about sex?

We live in a world where kids are exposed to sexually explicit material and conversations at an earlier age than ever before. Your child probably already knows much more than you think he/she knows. Don’t look at a conversation about sex as one dramatic and awkward conversation. Look at it as an ongoing dialogue where you keep sharing age-appropriate information and building trust with your child so he/she knows they can talk to you about anything.

As far as covering all the specific details, don’t think you have to fly solo. There are some great resources out there. I’d encourage you to look up the “Passport2Purity” resources from FamilyLife.com. That resource helped me tremendously in having those conversations with our oldest son and I plan to use them with our other other kids as well.
