While many couples would spend a fortune on therapy to bring more intimacy into their relationship, Terry Crews found a more novel way to do it.

The 47-year-old has revealed that he and wife Rebecca King-Crews abstained from sex for 90 days to strengthen their relationship and it left him 'more in love' and 'more turned on' than ever.

The actor told HuffPost Live this week: '90 days - no sex, all relationship, all talk, all cuddle.

Who needs therapy: TV star Terry Crews has revealed that he and his wife Rebecca King-Crews abstained from sex for 90 days to bring them closer together

'I found that at the end of that 90 days... I knew who she was, and it wasn't about "Let's go out because I know I'm gonna get some sex later." It was like, "Let's go because I want to talk to you. I want to know you".'

Wise words indeed from the Brooklyn Nine-Nine star who added 'every man has a desire for intimacy.

'You're not looking for porn. You're looking for someone to know you and love you at the same time,' he explained.

Stronger bond: Terry, 47, explained that at the end of the 90 days 'it wasn't about "Let's go out because I know I'm gonna get some sex later." It was like, "Let's go because I want to talk to you. I want to know you".'

'That's all you want - every man out there. But he's scared sometimes. That's why men put up big fronts.'

Terry married Rebecca, a former beauty queen, in 1990 and they have five children together; daughters Azriel, Tera, Wynfrey and Naomi and son Isaiah.

It was revealed in April that Chris Harrison would be taking over hosting duties on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire as Terry's busy schedule meant he couldn't commit to the game show.

As well as hosting Fox’s clip show comedy World’s Funniest Fails and a lead role in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Terry has also completed two films this year; upcoming action flick Aztec Warrior, and Adam Sandler's comedy western The Ridiculous 6, scheduled for release on December 11.
