Mastering the ‘quickie’ in a marriage | Fox 26

ASK THE LOVE DOCDatingDr. VivianaParentsRelationshipsSexTVDr. Viviana Coles shares how to initiate a quickie in marriage and its health benefits

Looking for ways to bring more playfulness and connection into your relationship? Dr. Viviana Coles, America’s go-to intimacy expert and founder of Houston Relationship Therapy, shares her insights on how to initiate a quickie in marriage—and why it can be more meaningful than you think.

In this expert segment, Dr. Viviana normalizes quick, consensual sexual encounters as a valid and even beneficial part of a couple’s routine. Far from being rushed or impersonal, quickies can provide a moment of bonding, laughter, and release—especially during busy or stressful seasons.


How to Initiate a Quickie in Marriage (Without Killing the Mood)

Dr. Viviana explains:

  • Keep it light and playful. A smile, a compliment, or a flirty look can go a long way.

  • Timing matters. Choose moments when both partners have at least a few minutes to pause and connect.

  • Set the tone. Make sure it feels fun, not pressured—and always rooted in mutual consent.

  • Make it a habit. Quickies don’t replace deep connection, but they can maintain intimacy between longer encounters.

She also shares research-backed health benefits of quickies, including stress relief, mood enhancement, and a sense of emotional closeness.
