iVillage Gift Basket

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 hear that a weekly date night is great, but since I never have a babysitter, we drop the kids off with grandparents every 3 months. That way, my husband and I actually get a date weekend! It is much better if you ask me, because you don’t have to rush to get home, etc.

    my best tip for couples with kids is this: when i pack my husband’s lunch i do his like i do my kids i leave little notes in it but his a little naughty :) sometimes i will sneak into the bathroom while he is showering and the mirror is steamy and write him a message

    we send the little one(well shes 13 ) over to her sisters once a week(either fri,sat or sun). then its just us in la la land. Oh and you must reciprocate.

    Do things often just to let him know you love him. Like, put his towel out in the morning, coffee. Note under his pillow, small things that let him know you still care.

    Making date night mandatory whether it be weekly or twice a month. Drop the kids off with relative or friend and spend the evening just the two of you.

  16. Angelina

    Leave the kids at babysitters and go out for a night on the town! Acting like you did when you were young and single will bring back those romantic feelings.

  23. Victoria

    My tip is after your children go to bed take some time every now and then to take a bubble bath together. Light some candles and relax in each others arms after a long day. This always brings me and my husband closer together.

    Stay true to yourselves and your faith, and you’ll always be stay on track! This is a great package!

    My husband and I try to take a trip for our anniversary. Time alone is so important!
