That means couples wanting to boost the happiness and satisfaction in their relationship only need to make time once a week to intimately connect with their partner. I’m a big advocate of scheduling sex dates, and this report supports my suggestion to couples to schedule one night a week as sacred time and space for sexual connection. Like I told Kelsey Borreson for The Huffington Post, “When we have sex with our partner we are releasing chemicals in our bodies that make us feel good like dopamine, testosterone, oxytocin and endorphins,” Nelson told HuffPost. “When they are released, a sense of well-being and even euphoria are created.”
