Exclusive | We schedule sex and it's wildly improved our marriage - it's the glue that keeps us close but there's an added benefit

Jay and Sofia Lyons, married for 31 years, schedule their intimate moments to maintain closeness amid life's demands. Their approach has proven effective, as they believe it greatly enhances their marriage. With statistics showing that only 14% of couples schedule sex, they find company in other public figures like Jenna Bush Hager and Amy Schumer. Experts like Virgina Sadock affirm that scheduling intimacy does not diminish excitement, even suggesting that a playful reminder can elevate the experience. For Jay and Sofia, this practice has fortified their bond and made their relationship more fulfilling.

“It’s made our relationship one million times better,” Jay, an Emmy-winning director and producer, told The Post. “It’s the glue that keeps your marriage close - it’s very difficult to have a bad marriage when you’re regularly having sex.”

“It makes your spouse feel appreciated and special,” said Sofia, a professional singer, adding that she likes leaving cutesy Post-it note reminders and risqué coupons for Jay ahead of their spicy rendezvous.

“Spontaneity is not the only way to have good sex,” Sadock noted, emphasizing that the notion of impromptu romps is not always realistic for busy couples.

“If something is special to you, you schedule it,” Sofia acknowledged, illustrating that planning can enhance intimacy in a relationship.
