Committed: The Ties that Bond
with Angella Dykstra
I'm a mom of three, a professional accountant, and an amateur photographer and writer. I am not a marriage expert. But my husband and I take "Til death do us part" seriously, and here I'll be sharing how we keep our marriage strong while we both do that insane work-life juggle.

I’m a huge proponent of having sex with your spouse as often as you can make it work. We average about 4-5 times a week, now that our kids are school-aged and no longer waking up in the night. We make “alone time” a priority because 1. We enjoy it, and 2. Our physical connection supports our emotional connection and makes us feel closer. I am hardly an expert, though, which is why I’m going to point you toward some research and statistics.
My friend Tracey posted this today over at Babble: ‘Married Sex: Are you ‘Normal’?‘ in which each slide has some interesting facts. This one proves that my husband and I definitely aren’t ‘normal’.
According to the Kinsey Institute, Married couples have sex an average of 2.2 times a week by age 30, but only 1 time a week, on average, by age 50.
Are you happy with your sex life?
