Imagine taking a month to focus on improving intimacy and sex within your marriage. September, aka “Sextember,” is a great time of year to do it — the kids are back to school, it’s still warm at the end of summer, and it’s still far from the busy holiday season.
You and your spouse are invited to join us in making September 2023 a Sexy September, aka “Sextember!”
What is Sextember?
You’re invited to try an experiment to see if increasing your sexual activity for a month brings you and your lover closer together and fills your life with more pleasure.
The challenge is for you to take time this September to identify one or two things that are currently getting in the way of your intimacy and make a plan to work on it. Improving intimacy doesn’t necessarily mean to have sex every day for the month (unless that’s what you both plan to do!). You could focus on working on common obstacles to intimacy such as lack of time, feeling tired and stressed, kids, or bedroom boredom. Sextember could become a way to be more deliberate in increasing your frequency and quality of sexual connection and pleasure.
How Sextember Works
The goal is to create a simple plan for intentionally improving intimacy for the 30 days of September. If you complete at least 20 out of the 30 days, you’ll receive a certificate of completion and be entered in to win a bedroom basket of prizes worth over $200. You don’t have to upgrade to the premium version of the app to participate.
Use the Intimately Us app to create your Sextember plan. If you’d like creative suggestions on challenge possibilities, you can choose from a list of over 100 suggestions. Suggestions are organized by common barriers to improving intimacy, such as:
- Bedroom Boredom
- Lack of Desire
- Too Tired or Stressed
- Lack of Time
- Need Stronger Romantic Connection
- Kids
- Confidence
- Reduce Pressure
By using the Intimately Us app you can also create your own custom plan! Make it as sexy of a Sextember as you like. Mark off items you’ve completed in your plan using the Intimately Us app. If you don’t want to use the app, a printable calendar version of Sextember is available to download right here! If you do use the printable calendar, make sure you email support@getyourmarriageon.com with your progress to be entered into the drawing!
Follow along with us on Instagram (@getyourmarriageon) and watch your email inbox; we may send and post fun stuff periodically throughout Sextember with tips, encouragement, and updates!
Before & After Photos
In the 1990s a British research psychologist Dr. David Weeks found that couples that had an active sex life looked anywhere from 5 to 10 years younger. Besides looking younger, there are dozens of other benefits to an active sex life.
Why not try this experiment for yourself? See if improved intimate activity during Sextember correlates to feeling better about yourself!
Your first and final task of Sextember is to take a selfie or photo of yourselves to create a “Before” and “After” comparison. You’re not required to send these photos to Intimately Us or anyone else. If you want to take private photos, we recommend the Just Between Us app.

I love this app! My husband and I are such busy people, this helps us stop and make sure we show the love that we have for each other. I’d give 6 stars if I could!
This is by far the #1 sex app for Christian couples! My wife and I played the games like 5 times over the last week. Sparks are flying and we’ve never felt so close before. Thank you!
