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

    ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW OUR KIDS GOT THERE. PAMPER YOURSELF AFTER A LONG WEEK AND GET ALL SEXY-IED UP. BECAUSE IF YOU FEEL SEXY LIKE YOU LOOK HOT YOU WILL FEEL SEXY FOR YOUR HUSBAND ALSO.

  2. Jan

    Send the kids to grandmas for the night! We also try to go out once a month without the kids.

  3. Heidi

    my tip: plan a date while the kids are in school, dates and movies and hotels are open during the day!

  4. Shawnda

    We always try to have a date night so we can get out and be adults for a couple of hours!

  8. Kandace

    Let the cleaning wait until later, and spend the time after kids have gone to bed together.

  9. angela frazier

    if u cant find a babysitter . wake kids up really early one morning and when its nap time u and your hubby have some quiet time together.

  10. Shawna

    A “secret” meeting during the day is always fun and just flirting with each other is sometimes lost in the hustle and bustle of life!

  12. Crystal

    Pick a night and have the kids stay with a baby sitter and go out and do something together doesn’t have to cost anything. Sometimes my husband and I just go out and take a walk together to have some time with out the kids.

  14. Rachel

    We don’t have kids yet, so I don’t have any tips to share. But hopefully with such a lovely package, we might have kids soon! (wink wink)

  15. Bree

    Leave secret notes where the kids can’t see for an element of surprise. Send text messages of little love notes. Just to make each other know you are think of them. Even if its just a little makeup and a dinner alone without the kids. It goes a long way!

  16. Rachel

    Also, I’m a happy RSS-feed subscriber! As always, thanks for the great tips, links, and giveaways!

    Go out on a date together, leave kids at a family members house to spend the night and have a rooooomantic night.

  22. Jennie

    I made my husband a scrapbook memory frame and listed all the reasons why I love him. I think that it is the little things that count after you have children to keep a romance going or to rekindle a flame.

  23. Bianca

    After the kids are in bed, throw on something sex for the hubby. It’ll show that you still care about looking good in front of him. He’ll love it! :)

  25. Melissa

    Trade off sleepovers with other couples with kids, all you need is a little uninterrupted alone time!!!

  27. Sara

    Keep it interesting and spontaneous when the kids are with the baby sitter. Planned spiciness isn’t always spicy if you know what I mean. Just get a sitter and go crazy.

  29. Heather FG

    I have three children and now and then my parents will take them for a night. We don’t go out…we stay in;-)

  30. Melissa Amos

    We always try to have a date night on Friday night. It’s the only real quality time we get to spend together during our busy weeks.
