and satisfaction. Example here, a couple I counseled where the woman was extremely excited about the thought of being seen while having sex. Naturally, in most of the country, doing this could lead to severe repercussions.

So the inventive husband took his wife out into the woods where there were no people, they walked quite a distance from the car, then spread a blanket, got totally undressed, and made love. The chances of anyone seeing it were next to nothing, but there was a hint that she might be seen. Nobody got into trouble, yet she said it was the best sex she'd ever had. It wouldn't have happened without communication. Note too that the sexual goal of the partners in a dedicated marriage is to excite and satisfy their partner as much as possible. That can't happen without communication. Does that mean that we sometimes do things for our partner that we would rather not and are uncomfortable with? Absolutely. But being in love and honestly caring for your mate means that you can share in the excitement and satisfaction.

Communication can also be non verbal, as in emails, notes, and such. Don't limit yourself when you are communicating with your spouse. But make sure that you communicate with them. Will this prevent all divorces? No, but many, if not most, divorces are due in large part because of a lack of communication. Share each others dreams, hopes, and loves. Communication is the biggest factor to a long lived marriage.
