Nah. Both in our early 40’s. Been together over 23 years. Three kids, 16, 12, and 7. Twice a week is the minimum and frequently more (this past week has been more…..this morning, even). But as folks have said, you have to be present in the relationship and you should always be chasing her like you did when you were dating. That may be more difficult if your wife isn’t attractive (let’s be honest here, it matters). And once kids are present, you have to do some strategic planning and find your spots which means you need to be able to discuss it with each other. You won’t get as many spontaneous moments, but you can still get everything you both need if you work at it.

this but you have to expect there to be times where it just might be a month in between. Sometimes there is just not time. shite we’ll get away sometimes and just want to crash. Got to roll with it sometimes.

That’s fair. I don’t think we’ve ever had a stretch like that other than following childbirth or after surgeries, though. There have been a few stretches of two or three weeks over the years where time was the main detriment, usually me working or being in class, or sometimes because one or the other (or both) was legitimately sick. But we’ve always managed to make time short of those types of things.

56 years of wedded bliss. Daughter [45 years old] walked in on us messing around and had a panic attack two months ago. We are not dead yet!
