You've turned on sexy marriage radio where the best sex is happening in the marriage bed.

Here's your host Dr. Corrie Allen and Shannon Effridge. So I want to kind of put a bow on last week's show I guess on normal.

Because this is the gift wrapping season.

Well, there you go.

I came across some research and I'm not, this will probably come back into a show later

but it's worth sharing because I want to give just some

add some normalcy to the people that are really struggling when it comes to sex in

their marriage that there was some research done in

1997 by a guy I think it was a guy it's B W McCarthy don't know the first name this was

this was published in the journal of Sex and Marital Therapy that it said

that sexual satisfaction is closely linked to marital satisfaction that it seems as

much as 15 to 20 percent of the latter can be accounted for by the former, right?

So when you got good marital satisfaction,

sexual satisfaction is part of that.

But, when there's marital dissatisfaction 50 to 75% of it can be attributed to sexual

dissatisfaction.

Interesting.

Right, so it's just like, huh, I've never heard of anybody that studied that before and I just found this via an intern that handed it to me.

And it was like, well, that makes sense, but that also is like, okay, now you can see why when that's where I

sum that all up is, you know, whenever there's a problem, that's the way we focus on.

I was going to say, so that means when it's good it's

really good but when it's bad it's really bad. It really magnifies everything yes
