Rebuilding Your Life, One Intimacy Session at a Time
June marks the beginning of the “Rebuild Your Life” month, and Dr. Laura Purdy from Rise Medical is here to remind us that a little more intimacy can be a game‑changer for both your relationship and your personal happiness.
Why It Matters
Most couples already know the basics: spend quality time together and keep the conversation flowing. But the sex—wellness aspect often gets forgotten, even though research says it can be a key player in a thriving partnership and a higher overall quality of life.
What the Science Says
- The National Institutes of Health found that a satisfying sex life—tailored to each individual—boosts overall life quality for the majority of U.S. adults.
- Newer studies suggest a link between sexual frustration and mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety.
Quick Tips to Spice Things Up
- Keep the Conversation Open – Talk about what makes you feel good, and listen seriously.
- Prioritize Intimacy as a Routine – Just like brushing your teeth, make it a regular habit.
- Embrace Variety – Try new positions, props, or even role‑play to keep things exciting.
- Take Care of Yourself – A healthy body leads to a happier, more satisfied partner.
Remember, a little playfulness and mutual understanding aren’t just fun—they’re essential for a richer, more vibrant life.
