We were rather disturbed by how many of you claimed to be in a sexless marriage after Scanner Emily's post yesterday.
Moreover, we were worried you all are going to end up miserable and/or divorced, if this survey conducted by a U.K. wedding site is to be believed...
3,000 Britons were queried about surviving a marriage, and those who have lasted ten or more years responded with these tips:
Having sex three times a week;
Kissing four times a day;
Cuddling thrice on a daily basis;
Sharing two hobbies, and;
Holding two romantic dinners a month.
Having sex three times a week doesn't seem totally unreasonable and neither does kissing four times a day. But how many chances are you really going to have to cuddle? (When you first wake up, on the couch after dinner, and before bed can work, in our view.) But Jesus, isn't it hard to find someone to fall in love with who is interesting enough to have two hobbies you also enjoy, has time for two romantic dinners per month after many years together, will remember to kiss you four times a day, and can arrange for three separate cuddles in a 24-hour span... not tomention sex every other night?
Not saying we're against it or that it's impossible, but now we're beginning to understand why so many marriages end in divorce.
