[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How infrequent is a problem? It's going to be different for every couple. Personally, I think the one who wants it least just has to realize it's important to keeping a marriage strong and just treat it like a chore and offer at least once or twice a week.[/quote]

This isn't going to be an exact science. If both spouses want to have sex only once per year, then it's not a problem. If both spouses want to do it three times a day, that's not a problem. The disparity is where the problem crops up. When you have a disparity, I think that's when you look at averages for married couples in your age group. You don't have to hit an average, but whichever spouse is furthest away from the average is probably the one more likely to have issues that can be resolved to bring them more in line with the averages.

I'm a guy, have been married 18 years and we're both in the neighborhood of 40. I'd like to do it 2-3x per week, but don't feel that 1x per week is unreasonable. When it gets closer to 1-2x per month, I start to grow resentful. [/quote]
