How often do you think married couples have sex? Or should have sex?

Three to four times a week is ideal in regard to health. This amount is what is determined to lower the risk of prostate cancer and a whole slew of other health related benefits go along with that as well.

A lot depends on the age of the couple and life styles. On average a couple in their 20's, married and raising a family will have sex 4 times a week. Then again a couple in their 50's, married for at least 15yrs, will only have sex 4 times a month.

Now, I know this is not true for everyone, but only averages.

I think that depends entirely on the couple. There is no such thing as "should" when it comes to decisions like this. Trying to live up to someone else's definition of "should" only causes discontent, dissatisfaction, and disharmony when the person or couple don't reach and/or maintain those standards.

Married couples should have sex as often as they want to; whether that is once a day, once a week or once a month. People have different levels of sexual drive and desire. If a couple has a high sex drive; then, once a day could be right for them.

If the couple has a low sex drive; then, once a week or even less often could be right for them. Married couples should have sex as often as is comfortable for them.

A question like this is hard to answer, simply because it depends on a couple. There is no "should" or scientific number to give for the number of times per week (or day) that married couples have sex. Lots of things come up in our lives - stress, our jobs, school, kids, relatives, and more - and can interfere with our sex life.

I think if anyone is in a marriage and thinks they should be having more sex, they must talk to their partner about it. Sex is a fun, natural and healthy thing to do, and so it should be something that people feel comfortable discussing with their partner. Now, if you want numbers, I think it's fair to guess an average of once or twice a week.It's going to differ from couple to couple, obviously, and for everyone it's different.

As far as 'should have sex,' again, it's up to the couple to decide what works for them. I want to add that while sex every day of the week might not be possible, it is important for a married couple to stay intimate, whether it's a good night or good morning kiss, a hug after a long day of work, a "just thinking about you" text, or a pat on the butt to remind them that you still find them sexy and are attracted to them. There are many playful alternatives to having sex in a busy life when you don't always have the time for it.

A good idea would be to set aside a date night each week which gives you both a chance to cuddle up to each other, reflect on your week, and share in a bit of romance. Hope this helps!

Each couple will be different, and some may need more fornication than others. Intercourse, however, shouldn't be the main reason the couple is together in the marriage. They should be best friends first, lovers second.

After all, when you're too old to engage in intercourse, you and your partner should be able to just hold hands and talk to each other, as that's what best friends do. I hope this helps.

It depends on the household. We have four children so we have a serious household to run when we get home from work. We try to get 2 times a week in.

Maximum 3. Nobody wants to engage that way when you're tired. 3 is plenty for us.

Well if your anything like me and my husband and I You have sex every night! But studies show most couples that have been together for long periods of time tend to have sex as little as twice a month! I would go crazy if I had to go that long in between sex!

We have 4 kids and both work and we still make time for sex just about every night!

How r you there is no specific time to have sex , but I think sex should be recharged every now and then , in order not to be forgotten and I agree with rachelijenna that sex every day might not be possible because it will lose it's meaningand aslo I agree with RachelLynn that every couple differthank you for the space.

I think 3-4 times a week is good. Like other people have said though it depends on the ages and also the busyness of each other (jobs, kids etc). But stress can also play a part in how many times a couple has sex.

And also the woman might not feel sexy anymore to her spouse, so that would factor in how many times they have sex as well.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
