Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting 24-hour giveaways at 8 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET to give you plenty of chances to win!
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

We get the grandparents to watch our kids every Superbowl weekend so we can go to the coast kid free! It is a set date every year.

Find a family member/friend to babysit and stay it. It’s free and there are no interruptions. If you can’t break out of your nightly routine of computer/tv, GO OUT!

Time set aside just for talking about what’s going on in life.

One day each month for the couple to do what one person wants, as long as they are together. And another to do what the other wants.

Alone time for everyone. – Absence makes the hear grown fonder and gives you time for yourself.

Every couple of months my in-laws will do an overnight “house swap” with us. We get away from the kids, but it doesn’t cost anything!
