How Important Is Sex in a Relationship

Published

on

Talking about “the importance of sex in relationship” would have gotten us a side-eye just a few decades ago as its considered a taboo. But, in recent times people have become unapologetically sexually liberated and we are here for it. Before we delve into its significant role in a relationship, it’s important to note that sex is not the oxygen that keeps a relationship alive, it does not make things better. The truth is, it might improve relationship but sometimes make things difficult. For some people its the most important thing, but for others it can be overlooked if the relationship is on a good track. That being said let’s dive into the importance of sex in a relationship, shall we?

Intimacy and Connection: It’s undeniable that the emotional side of love is intimacy, everybody wants someone who knows and understands them better than anyone else. And most times sex gives this type of feeling. Having sex can help you and your partner express love and affection in a way that deepens your bonds and strengthen emotional ties. It allows you connect on a different level with your partner, it can lift mood and ease tension. Without sexual intimacy especially in marriage couples will be distant and lonely even while living under the same roof.

Improves Relationship Health and Communication: Having regular sex keeps partners committed emotionally and improves communication. Communication makes or breaks a relationship, and sex teaches you how to communicate with your partner in an unimaginable way through physical touch which speaks louder than words sometimes. Additionally, talking about how you feel during or after sex with your partner can help you both understand each other, boost confidence, self esteem, self worth and improves relationship.

Vulnerability: Trust, and strong emotional connection are unquestionable traits built through sexual intimacy.

Ease and Relief Stress: Sex reliefs stress and tension in relationships. That is why most times make-up sex are the best in reconnecting and resolving conflicts.

Relationship Satisfaction: Overall pleasure and contentment in relationship can be influenced by sex. Having a good sexual intimacy makes you and your partner feel more happy and fulfilled.

 

Ultimately, the most important thing here is for couples to prioritize their connection and relationship, find a way to maintain intimacy, whether its through sex or other form of intimacy.

Mr Eazi and DJ Cuppy shared a fun moment recently when the artist sat down with his sister-in-law for an intimate outing with family that turned into a private wine tasting session for DJ Cuppy. In the video shared online, he took her through a full tasting session taking his time without rushing.

Mr Eazi married Temi Otedola, DJ Cuppy’s younger sister, in August 2025, making him a part of the Otedola family. The two have had a working relationship for years, but this was a different kind of session altogether.

In the video, Mr Eazi introduced the wine as a Barolo, an Italian red wine from the Piedmont region that he describes as “the wine of the kings.” He tells Cuppy exactly what to do. “You need to just swirl it a little bit just so that the body can open up. Then you close your eyes and breathe it in,” he says. He then turns to her and asks, “Can you smell anything? tell me what you smell.” Cuppy leans forward, takes a sniff, and gives him an interesting answer. “I smell soil. I actually smell soil. But why can’t I taste it?” she asked. Mr Eazi explains it simply. “When you let the air pass through it, you start to feel the spiciness,” he tells her.

The tasting was part of Temi Otedola’s 30th birthday trip to Spain. Temi celebrated with family including Mr Eazi, Nana Otedola and her sisters DJ Cuppy and Tolani Otedola. It was a quiet, private celebration with just the people she was closest with.

Between Temi’s 30th birthday and a wine lesson in Spain, the Otedola family clearly had a good time. And if this video is anything to go by, Cuppy might just be a wine person.
