Are you two having enough sex? Here’s the EXACT right amount

Unless you two are one of those magical couples who manages to make the honeymoon period last for five years (show us your ways), you've probably worried from time to time that you're not having enough sex.

After all, life can sometimes get in the way: long days at work, early mornings, and – in some cases – pure logistics. If you're not living together yet, you're ability to get down to it is definitely drastically reduced.

But not to worry, as a new piece of research has revealed just how much sex a couple should be having to stay content in their relationship – and it's not that much at all.

According to a study by the University of Toronto-Mississuaga, if you're having sex once a week, you have nothing to worry about.

Around 2,400 married couples were surveyed three different times over the course of fourteen years, and the results showed that having sex at least once every seven days was linked to "maximum relationship satisfaction."

Of course, if you're having sex more than that, great, but you two will still be just as content if you're getting your fix once a week.

"Although more frequent sex is associated with greater happiness, this link was no longer significant at a frequency of more than once a week," lead researcher Dr Amy Muise said.

"Our findings suggest that it's important to maintain an intimate connection with your partner, but you don't need to have sex every day as long as you're maintaining that connection."
