Frequency of intimacy as newlyweds
Right. If you are childish please skip this post. If it breaks any rules, please delete.
Simple question. As newlyweds (first year of marriage, maybe bit longer), how many times in a week/month etc would you expect to engage in sexual intimacy with your partner?
I completely understand every couple is different but I'm interested to know people's thoughts and see if there is a difference in experiences because it is a massive contributing factor to divorce (Muslim and non-muslim) as I've come to learn.
Replies of this format would be ideal. Length of time you knew your spouse before marriage and how long you've been married. Did you discuss the topic of intimacy before marriage, and crucially how often you think it occurs/should occur in your marriage, and how do you deal with one partner not feeling satisfied?
Bonus question for woman. Do you feel obliged as a wife to meet husband's needs?
I have read the rights of the husband (note: wife has equal rights in this matter) when it comes to the topic but I find it very difficult to apply that mentality to a marriage. Personally, I don't think I could be with a woman that perceived intimacy as a chore/expected act even if willingly on her part, if I sensed she derived nothing from it.
**Edit: I wanted to thank everyone that has taken the time to respond. Not only insightful replies, but some with genuine advice I feel can help those in similar situations.
I'm also somewhat surprised how often some of your are getting it on! 2-3 times a week?! I thought once a week was aiming to high! Muslim Couples doing marriage right :)
