Sex...has the frequency changed?
Just a quick poll....has sex become more frequent or less frequent now that you're married???
Re: Sex...has the frequency changed?
We never lived together before marriage, though frequently stayed at each others' places. Our careers/jobs are pretty irregular for schedules. Mine is a shift work schedule and he works late hours. I'd say ours has had its ups and downs.
As of late, we're on the up side. Hang in there, there will be good times and bad.

Definitely more frequent, seeing as we didn't have sex until we were married.
This.
Same here.
We didn't have intercourse until we were married
, but we fooled around plenty. 
As one might guess, we are intimate more often now than before.
We've been married for three years, and the frequency has definitely waxed and waned. Sometimes we are so stressed out and busy that all we want to do is sleep when we are done with the day; during others, we have stretches of time with lots of action.
It hasn't really changed but we've been together for nearly 7 years now, married 4 months. I'd say the only time it decreases is around Christmas/Winter. My company has 'required' over time, so I'm not around as much and I pretend to be Ms. Do it all so I'm usually stressed thinking about the next thing that needs done. Even then, it's at least twice a week. I don't want my H thinking I don't enjoy sex anymore because that would be a total lie!
This!!
Same here, for the both of us. Having to move back home and live with his parents doesn't help either.
Us, too. :-)
UH. . . I have experienced both. We did have sex when we were in a relationship then we stopped when we were engaged. (his idea, not mine) We have had periods of no sex for like two weeks but then we have had lots of sex ( every other day) so I am not the best person to ask.
Basically, the frequency has changed on both sides of the coin.
We've still got a couple of months to go until the wedding, but last year our New Years Resolution was to have sex EVERY day, and we kept it too
. Originally we were long distance, so every time we saw each other, the fireworks went off, but now that we've been living together for a year, my drive has kind of waxed and waned (new job, in graduate school, wedding planning stresses), but still with sex everyday, sometimes more. The "streak got to be kind of annoying toward the end, especially when I was really tired and not in the mood, but sometimes my body surprised me, in a good way.
Since the new year (and the end of the "streak") we've taken a couple of days off, but we're still at the 4+ times a week count. Don't know how it'll change after the wedding, but I do know that I'll be starting a new job at the same time that he'll be going back to school for a Ph.D., so there are bound to be some changes.
