I don't know, I often find myself engrossed in ridiculous shows like this and other reality bs that I just can't help but watch instead of doing something productive. I have a few other things I could/should be doing. Instead I'm on here and watching this show...haha. If I didn't have it, I'd get a lot more done!! Haha

Yep. The whole thing is 7 times in 7 days. All I could thing was "ouch", but that's just me. I guess some women really love their husbands, and I also guess I'm not one of those women haha!

Only 5% are having sex once a week?! I feel like a bad wife and DH becomes a bear (he says he has too much poison built up in his body) if we're not going at least twice a week. We went 8 days once, and you could tell it was weighing on us. Sometimes it's a good stress reliever too. Even of you have to "force" it in the beginning it always ends up being a good thing and I've never come out of it saying damn I wish I wouldntve done that. Haha. It baffles me how some people really just don't think/care about intimacy in their relationship.

I disagree. I don't think thinking of sex as a chore or tiresome is necessarily an indicator of anything other than you're freaking tired!! Yeah, when DH and I first got together there were no excuses, and it was at least every day if not several times. But, that was 4 years ago. Before life got in the way. Yes, I am guilty of being too tired and guilty of not making time for it when I sometimes would like to. I listen to this show with Laura Berman on Cosmo radio. She always says "sex begets more sex". It's true. When you're having sex it's easy to want more. You feel better overall, yes. But when you're in a "slump" it's hard to get back in to the swing of things. Bc sometimes after taking care of children that aren't mine all day, working, managing employees who sometimes are worse than children, dealing with day to day life, not to mention birth control does impact your sex drive sometimes and I've found that depo (which I'm on) makes me feel "off" as far as that goes, and sometimes I really do have a headache and just want to take some ibuprofen PM and crash. I also work overnight a lot so I don't always sleep in bed while DH is sleeping in bed. Some days we see each other for 20 min in the morning while he's getting ready and I'm getting the kids ready then we won't see each other at all until the next morning for 20 minutes. Meh. I'm making excuses. All I'm saying is, I disagree that a lack of libido doesn't necessarily point to a problem in the relationship.

These were all pretty young couples. In their late twenties-mid thirties I'd say. Once a day isnt that much really in the grand scheme of things, and it isnt like it's forever. It did help the couples become closer to one anothe and I can completely appreciate the reasons why and can totally see it. It's a week to build your marriages base and make it stronger. And all the couples even laughed ab how it was bad some those times that week, but, it just puts everyone in a better mood.

I guess (and this is totally in my opinion and experience) that if you're not enjoying the sex you do have with your partner, it might be time to look into an issue with your relationship. Because well, while most of the time it is my partner initiating sex, and I will admit that while I'd love to be one of these gung ho wives that is up for it any time their husband is, I'm just not. I am tired, and it's the last thing on my mind most nights we're in bed together. But, when we do have sex, even if in the beginning I'm like oh geez, okay c'mon, I never regret that we did. I think sexual satisfaction, for women at least, is more than just the physical contact. For men, sure, sex might be better with someone they care about, but um...I'm pretty sure prostitutes, and hell even the porn industry wouldn't exist if it weren't because a lot (not all of course of men just simply care about the act of it, not the chemistry. But, at least from what I've seen, talked to with my girlfriends about, experienced, etc, that for a woman, the "quality" of the sexual experience is also a mental thing, and a chemistry connection with your partner. So if you're not feeling it in the bedroom, you might want to consider what the underlying issue between you and your partner may be.

Oh dear. I am sorry. I hate this for you, and honestly, while this isn't supposed to be a serious blog I feel for you. Marriage is absolutely about give and take. At least when my DH is trying to "guilt" (for lack of a better term) me, he says it makes his feel bad because he feels like I'm not connected with him anymore. Which isn't the case. He's manipulative in that regard but it usually works for him. :). My advice to you would be to seek out a marriage counselor (if you haven't already), that way the two of you can talk in a neutral atmosphere. We went through couples counseling a while ago for some issues we were having and it really did help us learn how to better communicate our issues to one another. Of course we're not perfect, no one is. But it definitely helped. Maybe your DH doesn't realize that what he said hurt you the way that it did. Maybe if you can express that to him without making him feel attacked he will understand and can respond.
