Candace Cameron Bure and her husband have a great sex life. We know because she's talked openly about it before. That's because sex is really important to a marriage, she says. It's so important, in fact, that the star is opening up about her sexy marriage once again.
The Full House alum and her husband, Valeri Bure, celebrated 25 years of marriage in 2021. That's quite the haul! She says that keeping the sex going in their relationship is actually a pretty big reason why they're still happily together.
"I think it's important. You've got to keep it up. The longer you're married it's so easy to take each other for granted. You know each other so well that you forget, so you have to keep it spicy," Cameron Bure said on Daily Blast Live on Tuesday. "I love that. My husband and I do."
It's refreshing to hear Candace open up honestly about sex. All too often, we think that longevity is, well, the opposite of sexy! But according to her, that doesn't have to be true.
Of course, that means choosing a partner you are attracted to is pretty darn important. But it seems like Candace and her husband have no complaints in that department. Yes, it requires some work. But as long as you're still feelin' each other, then it's work you'll both be happy to do.
She offered some advice for couples who are in a sexual slump. "Just do something unexpected," she said. "Maybe lay in a way you don't normally lay. He'll be like 'woah.' You'll surprise him!" Well, OK!
Now, it should go without saying that that should go both ways. After all, it is not solely a woman's job to stay sexy and keep the sex alive. Right? Right!
Either way, it's brave of Cameron to keep talking about sex! The Christian community, which she is very much a part of, has been critical of her being open about the great sex and passionate relationship she and her husband have. She posted a cute and playful image of the two canoodling, and the backlash was swift.
Candace was quick to speak up for herself, though. "I've been married for 24 years," she said at the time. "I'm a Christian, my husband's a Christian and I'm really proud that we've managed to stay married for 24 years. And the fact that we have fun and we flirt together, this is part of what makes our marriage work," she said on the Confessions of a Crappy Christian podcast in November. "This is something to be celebrated as a Christian."
"Sex doesn't stop once you get married. Sex is the blessing of marriage and I hate when Christians are like, no, you have to pretend like you've never had sex, and we only know that you've had sex three times because you've had three children."
More power to her! Seriously, it is so nice to hear her embrace both her Christianity as well as her sex life. She should certainly not be ashamed, especially if it keeps her marriage going strong.
