  • 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

    Timing is everything, so go for it whenever you happen to get the chance. Don’t wait until night…..I’m worn out by then!

  5. Dona

    A really big tub with lots of candles helps to set a romantic scene for alone time, it really works for us

  6. Jordan

    My best tip would be once a month or every other month, get a hotel room. Somewhere nearby, go to a fancy dinner, and have the kids stay with family or a sitter. There’s something so intimate about getting away, even if it’s just a few miles away, with your loved one! You feel like teenagers again!

  7. Judy

    taking time to do and say thank you for all the little things…makes one look forward to moments of romance.

  8. Mindy Ranck

    we go out and sit in the hot tub together and relax and talk after we get all 3 kids in bed for the night. It’s our time to unwind and relax, plus it’s our time to chat.

  10. Renee

    Definitely make time for yourselves…our kids are now 18, 16, and 12 and as you realize that time has flown and it seems like they were small just yesterday, your relationship with your spouse has done the same…just moved over time…we have recently realized that if it is left up to our kids, there would be no alone time…so carve it out of busy schedules and have fun!!

  12. Ashley T

    Have a regular date night. Many families have responsible nieces or nephews, Aunts or Uncles who could switch off and on!

  16. Ashlee

    Our biggest tip is simply remember to always make time for each other. When my son was first born it was a huge adjustment like I’m sure it is for everyone. I wasn’t getting any sleep and there was no time for just my husband and I. I made a rule very early on where we would take 10 minutes every day to focus on each other fully. Just to ask how your day was and things like that. I think it really made us stay connected.

  17. Penny

    Date night atleast once a month and a weekend vacation (just the two of you) once a year! And if your risky, visit and adult store for some toys! ;)

  19. Trish Kaval

    Make time for each other during the week. Even if its only a half hour of quality time talking or cuddling.

  23. Sarah

    Appreciating everything you do for each other and telling the other how much it means to you! We also like writing notes to each other often.

  28. Nicole Dz.

    Always be grateful of each other & just do those little things together to enjoy the little time you have together. Find time out of the day to let them know how much they mean.

  29. Carrie

    Know each other’s LOVE language…mine is words of affirmation. If my husband is reaffirming me with words, that means so much to me.
