Why do you think sex starts to fizzle after getting married? Being busy? Kids? Responsibilities? Chores? Or maybe you don't think it does?

We don't have sex quite as much as we did before, mostly due to our busy schedules. We still have tons of fun when we have time, though!

All of the above. lol

The frequency had changed but it has got a lot better the older we get.

My parents have more sex than I have EVER had sex during a relationship lol not sure why it happens with other couples but I'd guess all of what you mentioned, plus stress. My parents keep their sex life going because despite being busy they set aside certain times each day, plus their work schedules allow for them to be together at night. With us kids, we never really got in the way, my sis never wanted the whole love and affection thing most kids do, and I was independent and didn't need a lot of attention as a baby. As for stress, they're so easy going, they don't let things get to them, really.

Well we're not legally married but we live like we are. It hasn't fizzled for us at all. We've been together 4 years now and it's better than it was during year 1. We've had our bumps and stuff that got in the way but we've mostly figured out how/what we like and we actively do things to keep ourselves interested in each other. Dates never go out of style.

We had less sex after marriage, and now we have kids and no sex at all. Had sex about 6 times since Nov 2009... and that was to try for a baby. She's preggers now so I know I'm not getting any sooner than next June.

After our kids left, things really took off for us. We indulge more frequently now than we ever did, usually daily.

After kids, my drive kind of went out the window. I'm trying really hard to change that.

I would agree with all of the reasons you posted, though our sex life is still alive. Maybe the only thing I can add is a growing gap in sexual desires. My wife enjoys sex, but she does not fantasize about it near as much as I do, and she is not adventurous on her own. If I try to mix things up, she usually plays along, so we make it work.

I have two children from a previous marriage, so there were kids involved from the very beginning of our relationship. We don't know what it's like to be together without children. We now have one of our own as well, she's 9 months old. We've been married for about a year and a half and the only thing that's been different is that we're a little more tired than before and don't always take our time the way that I would like. I think we're doing really well considering we have three kids! We make love almost every day (at least once).
