As part of the relaunch of their Pregnancy & Parenting site, iVillage recently asked its readers to complete a Married Sex survey. Among the key findings were these interesting results:
- 63% of married women said they would prefer to catch up on an extra hour of sleep, watch a movie or read a book than have sex with their spouse
- 31% of women reported that they had a better sex life before marriage
- 14% of women have participated in sexting, while 17% have sent flirty email messages
- 44% of women said the quality of their sex life has not changed since having kids
- 23% of women have sex 1 to 3 times a month

I keep a package of dry erase markers in the bathroom cabinet and write notes to my husband on the bathroom mirror for him to find in the morning when he gets ready for work. It’s a nice start to his day and makes him feel loved and appreciated. It also lets him know that he has something to look forward to.

The night before prepair yourself to mentally think about your spouse all day the next day. By the end of the following day you won’t be able to get the kids to bed quick enough!

We designate weeks specifically for things like our “dates”.It gets scheduled on the calendar and even if it just means staying up a little later and having a special meal or snuggling through a movie- once a month I know I will have my spouses undivided attention. With kids you have to be creative, during the summer let them picnic and camp out for some indoor alone time. When kids get older switch that Do Not Disturb sign from the babies room to your room and set up a date in your room(I’m not above bribes and have been known to promise kids a movie and pizza for good behavior or a Wii card if they respect date night boundaries). If you have older kids or neighbors budget $10 to have 2 hours of time with your SO.

teasing thru out the day, a kiss in the hallway, arm wrapped around your thigh with you leaning against him for just a second, a slow sexy smile above the kids heads while dishing up dinner, just quick little looks all day long to let you know what the night will be like
