The frequency of sexual activity among married couples can vary greatly and depends on various factors, including individual preferences, health, age, relationship dynamics, and personal circumstances. It's important to note that there is no universal or "correct" frequency of sexual activity for married couples, as it is subjective and can differ from couple to couple.

While sex is an important aspect of many marital relationships, its significance can vary for different individuals and couples. For some couples, sexual intimacy plays a crucial role in maintaining emotional connection, physical satisfaction, and overall relationship satisfaction. Regular sexual activity can contribute to feelings of closeness, bonding, and increased emotional and physical well-being.

However, it's important to remember that every relationship is unique, and the importance of sex in a marriage can vary from couple to couple. Some couples may prioritize other aspects of their relationship, such as emotional connection, companionship, shared values, or communication, over sexual frequency. What matters most is that both partners are satisfied with the level of sexual intimacy in their relationship and that they maintain open and honest communication about their needs and desires.

It's also worth noting that the importance of sex in a marriage can evolve over time. Factors such as age, health conditions, stress, and lifestyle changes can affect sexual desire and frequency. It's essential for couples to navigate these changes together and adapt to each other's needs and expectations.

“I don’t understand sexless marriage. How can a couple share a bed and not have sex? I get annoyed with my man too, but at the end of most days, I’d rather have sex than not.” — Carlin Ross

Overall, the importance of sex in a married life is subjective and varies from couple to couple. What truly matters is that both partners feel satisfied, respected, and connected in their relationship, and that they openly communicate and work together to maintain a healthy and fulfilling sexual life.

Here’s a reddit.com* thread that asked married folks to weigh in on how often they have sex. We separated the answers into three categories, based on how long the couples have been married. Some of the answers may surprise you:

Married 0-7 years:

  1. "I'm 33, he's 29. Married one year, together for 3, one kid. Sex happens on average once a week."
  2. "My husband and I have been married almost three years and have a baby. We have sex twice a week on average, sometimes more. It is really not a big deal to us though. The sex is AMAZING and just gets better, but we are so happy together it is just a very small part of our relationship."

Married 7-15 years:

  1. "Together for 14 years, been married for 11 years, four kids. When things are not closed for maintenance about five times a week."
  2. "37 & 35. Married almost 15 years. It's all over the place. Life is really crazy right now. We're both working, both in school, and have a 5-year-old son. Sometimes it's 3x a week, sometimes it's none."

Married more than 15 years:

  1. "Married 17 years: 2-3 times a year."
  2. "Together 30 years, married 25, two kids, in our 50's. We get it on 3 to 5 times a week. When we do not, we rub each other, kiss and snuggle. It is better than I anticipated it would be at this point."
  3. "I'm 55, married for 32 years. Twice a week, more or less."
