Tara Parker-Pope discusses a recent article investigating married couple’s satisfaction with their sex frequency. Half of husbands and nearly that many wives reported dissatisfaction; of those dissastified, most of the men and 2/3rd of the women desired more frequent sex, but time constraints and other obligations get in the way.

All the statistics i've been learning through interpersonal relations classes are making me not want to get married!! a steady decline in satisfaction (sharper decline if there's kids!) and a dissatisfaction with sex too? what ARE married couples satisfied about?
Dr. Benjamin Le says
But don't forget about the positive health and psychological outcomes associated with being in a *high-quality* relationship! We've got a post coming in a couple of weeks that highlights the health benefits of sex….Stay tuned. 🙂
