Make Love Work with Chris and Megan Rea
So… How Often Should Married Couples Have Sex?
How Often Should We Actually Be Having Sex? Honestly? We get asked this all the time. And everyone wants a number. “Once a week? Twice? Three times? What’s the magic answer here, Chris?” But the truth is, there isn’t a magic number. We’ve been married long enough to know that life changes. Babies, toddlers, teenagers, stress, work, health stuff, hormones, you name it. Some seasons are easier than others. And sometimes you’re thinking, “Sex sounds amazing,” and other times you’re thinking, “Can I just go to bed?” What matters more than a number is connection. Do we feel loved? Pursued? Wanted? Are we making intimacy a priority? And we’ve had to learn that Chris and I don’t always experience intimacy the same way. Sometimes I need the emotional connection first, and Chris is like, “We had a conversation. I feel connected. Let’s go!” But we’re both after the same thing: feeling close to each other. So instead of comparing our marriage to some random statistic, we need to actually talk to each other. What feels realistic in this season? What helps you feel loved? How can we stay connected? Because we’re not trying to hit some magic number. We’re trying to have a healthy, fun, connected marriage, and honestly, that’s way more important than checking a box. Ready to grow?
