One of the most common questions I'm asked is, "how much sex should we be having in our marriage?". Although the national average says that couples, on average, have sex about 1.5 times per week, the real answer is that the right amount of sex will vary from couple to couple. Saving your marriage will ultimately come down to finding a way to compromise.

Hi I'm Michele Weiner-Davis, founder of http://DivorceBusting.com

Now today I'm going to answer a very common question: "how often should couples have sex?"

If you're asking this question it probably means one of two things. Either you're not getting enough sex or you think your spouse is a sex maniac and wants way too much sex and you want to get the facts so that you can set the record straight.

First, I'll start by telling you the national statistics. I found that most couples have sex 1.5 times per week. Now having said that, I want you to know, unlike vitamins there are no daily minimum requirements to ensure a healthy sex life. What works for one person isn't going to work for another. What works for one couple isn't going to work for the couple down the street. If you're married to someone who has a much higher or much lower sex drive, the point is to stop arguing about who's right and who's wrong, and to find ways to meet in the middle.

There are many ways to do that. Both partners have to be satisfied. Clearly, that won't work all the time but if you aim for both people's needs being met, over the long haul you won't be having this argument about who's right, and who's wrong. You'll find passion, and then you'll find time together when you're not being sexual, and it will be okay. Just don't get into that debate about one person being right and one person being wrong. That's the only mistake you can make.
