    A few times a week. We're newly married but not new to sex, or living/sleeping together.

    About once a week (DH is out of town for half the week or else it would likely be about twice a week).

    Well... not to be a downer here... but we're older, with kids, so it's feast or famine with us.  We're either looking for every chance or we're exhausted and out as soon as we hit the pillow.

    A few times a week. Sometimes it will only be once a week but usually it's at least 2-3 times.

    We have never been an everyday kind of couple even from the beginning. Nothing has really changed.

    We had sex everyday until I got pregnant. Now probably 2 times per week.

    We're TTC and were trying to do it every other day.

    I'm a bit of an odd statistic as he's away during the week and sometimes at weekends. It's only really once or twice at the weekend at the minute. I like to think that if we were together everyday it would be more?

    A few times a week. Some weeks it's every day, some weeks it's only once or twice...but it evens out :)

    Probably around 1-2 times per week for us. We aren't new to sex or living together, plus we've both been kinda stressed since DH is still working the graveyard shift and I work daylight hours.

    Hardly ever. Not sure what changed because it was 4-5x a week before the wedding.

    Once or twice a week. DH works until after midnight, so any more is not realistic, as I get up before 6am!

    A few times a week. We've been scheduling it lately so it doesn't fall by the wayside--we work different schedules and I've been feeling crappy and fatigued the last few months. At least I can sneak a nap in before he gets home from work if it's going to be a sex night...ha!

    I'd say 2-3 times on average. Hasn't changed since before marriage. There are the odd weeks were a week will go by with no sex and then there will be the week were we have sex almost every day.

    It's weird for us, because DH travels for work, so we will have feast (right after he gets back from a trip) or famine (when he's gone). But there are times when he doesn't travel and then it's a couple times a week. I would say we average out to a couple times a week.

    @Running Elley: same with us.

    Most of the time is a couple times a week, sometimes it's only once a week, but it all evens out. I don't think we've ever gone longer than a week.

    Oh, I'm not a newlywed per se, about a year and a half. 

    A pastor/marriage counselor who is pretty well known says that in a healthy marriage about 3x a week should be the norm. He has five young kids too - I have no idea how he does it! I'm trying to think about how it might change after the little one is born..

    Probably 1-2x/week.  Really the same as before marriage.  We have never been REALLY active sexually, which we are both okay with (we've discussed it as sometimes I think we should more!)  Usually on weekends when we are both relaxed...
