A highly respected University of Chicago study found that, while the frequency of intercourse decreases by over 700% between the ages of 20 and 70 among the general populace, "among the married the decline is even more striking […] Even among couples who rate their marriages as very happy and say they are still in love, frequency of intercourse declines." In another survey, 6 out of 10 couples stated that marriage had "completely ruined the excitement of having sex."
Yet another survey found that 60% of dating singles reported being sexually satisfied, compared to only 52% of married people. Also in that study, 48% of dating singles and only 36% of marrieds report having sex at least once a week.
If this dreadful prospect is true, what's sucking the sex out of marriage? And is there anything we can do to get it back?
