Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum Don't Schedule Sex . . . Yet

Channing and Jenna Dewan Tatum have a Hollywood relationship for the books. After costarring in the hit 2006 dance film Step Up, the two eventually took their romance off screen when they tied the knot in 2009. Fast-forward a few years later, and the two are still going strong with a 3-year-old daughter named Everly. In addition to her new NBC competition series World of Dance and giving us sweet glimpses of her family on social media, Jenna also graces the cover of Redbook's May issue. Aside from looking gorgeous, per usual, she also opens up about being a feminist, her sex life with Channing, and how the two find ways to keep their love alive. See some of her best quotes below.

On her sex life with Channing Tatum: "We are not sex schedulers — not yet! Give us a couple more years. Maybe with child number two. There's a beauty in being two busy people because we get a lot of time to miss each other. To continue to miss someone after so many years is kind of a blessing in disguise."
On the most challenging part about their marriage: "Communication. You change when you're together from 25 to 35. I think maybe in my early 20s, I might have tiptoed around issues or didn't want to make too many waves. Now it's like, 'This is how I'm feeling.' You have to be okay with the other person becoming defensive, to let them be emotional and accept that it won't be okay for a while."

On keeping her relationship exciting: "I think all women should keep it exciting for themselves. People always ask, 'Do you do anything to keep it fresh for your man?' I hate that question. I'm like, 'No. Why is it for your man?' I do things to keep it fresh for myself. The lingerie I buy is not for him necessarily. It's for us and for myself. If you feel sexy, then it's good for you."
On being a feminist: "We should want equality for men and women. Men should want that too. Chan is for women's rights and so am I. Women should have the right to be the best they can be and make their own choices for themselves. Our daughter is young, but I think as she gets older, she's going to be all about the standard for women we keep at home — she's going to be strong."
