13 Reasons To Have Sex With Your Spouse Every Night

When life gets busy, one of the first things to go in a relationship is sex. Couples are
too tired, too full, too stressed, too distracted. Simply put: not in the mood.

We get it -- there are a million and one legitimate reasons not to have sex tonight,
tomorrow or the day after that. But there are plenty of couples out there who are
doing the deed five, six, seven or more times a week. We recently asked married
HuffPost readers who have sex every night (barring things like sickness, business
trips or other extenuating circumstances, of course) how it has improved their lives
and relationships. Below are 13 good reasons to get it on with your spouse on a near
daily basis.

1. It provides some much-needed couple time.
"My husband and I have sex every night because it's a moment in the day that is
just about the two of us. We are parents to a toddler, so when we lay him down for
bed each night, we can then spend the rest of the night expressing how we feel
about each other physically. Having sex allows us to be passionate, to show affection
and we enjoy pleasing each other." - Christie M. of Arkansas; married 3 years

2. It leads to more PDA outside of the bedroom.
"We're very physically expressive with one another, even when we're not having sex.
We hold hands a lot, he slaps my butt when I'm working in the kitchen, I nuzzle his
neck when he's working on research papers at the desk." - Jesse N. of Ontario,
Canada; married less than one year

3. It can be a workout if you do it right.
"When you have four kids and no time, sex is the best exercise." - Tera M. of
Oklahoma, married less than one year

4. It gets you out of your head for a little while.
"Sex for me, and now for my husband since we’ve gotten together, is a complete
escape from reality. We are both very much into role-playing and it’s such a
wonderful feeling to not have to be me for a while, to completely shut off from our
crappy day-to-day existence and strictly be about ourselves and our enjoyment." -
Sara C., of Panama City, Florida; married one year

5. It builds trust.
"New positions and sexual frontiers take a lot of trust in your partner to not screw it
up, and that kind of trust is best earned after several years of personal and joint
bodily exploration." - Kristena M. of Richmond, Virginia; married 10 years
