Sex can’t solve all your problems, but it can help with some.
That’s good news! Who needs to pay for couple’s counseling or fight in the kitchen all night? Just set aside a little alone time with your boo and work it out between the sheets. (Or above them. Or nowhere near them.) Here’s the catch, though: You can’t use it as a replacement for actually doing the hard work that comes with making a relationship WERK.
Wendy Strgr, CEO of the Good Love and the author of Sex That Works, tells HelloGiggles that more problems arise “when couples use sex to avoid their emotional conflicts and don’t engage in discussing what is happening between them, then the sex actually works in reverse.” It pulls you apart.
