She adds that she wishes “sex within marriage [didn’t] get such a bad rap.”

“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 onDaily Blast Liveat the time. “I love that. My husband and I do.”

She added, “That’s one of the reasons we’ll be celebrating 25 years of marriage.”

“I’ve been married for 24 years. 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 theConfessions of a Crappy Christianpodcast. “This is something to be celebrated as a Christian.”

She continued, “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.”
