How To Make Your Love Making Extra Special!

Do you and Hubby only manage to have sex once a week? Your marriage is not doomed. Here’s how to make your time between the sheets extra special.

Ahh, sex. You and the Hubs are lucky if you even get to do it once a week, and when you do, it’s rarely of the earth-shattering variety.

You’re not the only one who wishes you could have more sex, and better sex at that. Many of us long for the days when sex with Hubby was romantic, passionate, and lasted all night. Now, it’s more “meh” than “mmmmm” – and over before you know it.

In a survey of 80 Simply Her readers, 45 women said they had sex with their husband three times a month on average. Twenty-five revealed they had sex even less than that – just twice a month at most. The rest said they had sex twice or more times a week.

Interestingly, most of the women polled assumed that everyone else was having more sex than them. When we asked how often they thought their friends did it, 70 women guessed about once or twice a week.

When it came to how often they thought was ideal for happily married couples to have sex, 78 answered “at least once a week”.

Once a week may not sound like a lot but, according to a study published in the November 2015 issue of the journal Social Psychology and Personality Science, this is all it takes for couples to maintain happiness in their relationship.

Amy Muise led the study. A social psychologist affliated with the Relationships and Well-Being Laboratory at the University of Toronto, Canada, she found that,while having sex more than once a week was not associated with greater well-being, if you and your man have sex less than once a week, happiness declined.
