Candace Cameron Bure: Marital sex shouldn't have 'such a bad reputation', it's a 'gift from God'

Actress Candace Cameron Bure was recently on the Breakdown podcast with Celebrity Jeopardy host Mayim Bialik. While talking to Bialik, Bure shared that she and her husband still love each other "physically", "spiritually" and "mentally" after 26 years of marriage.

Bure, who married former hockey player Valeri Bure in 1996, shared that laughter is one of her "love languages" and that she loves it when her husband makes her laugh.

"Laughter is one of my love languages," she told Bialik, who starred as Amy Farrah Fowler on the CBS sitcom Big Bang Theory.

"I grew up with comedians on [Full House]. I laughed my whole life. My dad is a very funny man," she said. "Like, I love it. So, I need a laugh in my life, and that comes with playing with my husband, so when he can make me laugh, that's the best."

According to Fox News, the Full House star also noted that "sex in marriage has such a bad reputation" and stressed that sex in marriage should "be celebrated" because that it is a "gift from God."

Sex is a “blessing to be married and committed to someone,” Bure said, adding that jokes about longer marriages being sexless are inaccurate in her case.

"I don't try to talk about my sex life," she explained. "But I think it's important to share what a healthy sex life in marriage can be just by saying it's important."

"It's a big part of the relationship that we make time for each other, that we still love each other physically, you know, spiritually, mentally, all those things," Bure continued. "It all goes together."

"I'm a happier person, and my husband is a happier person when we've had sex," she said.

The Bures have three children together: Natasha, 24, Lev, 22, and Maksim, 20.

Bure, who starred in the hit 90s sitcom Full House and its 2016 sequel Fuller House, recently ended a 14-year stint with Hallmark Channel and has now joined Big American Family. She is set to star in her first Christmas movie under the new network, which will be released in November.
