Sex advice: My wife and I can’t seem to find time for sex

Too busy and too tired is a real excuse for all sorts of things, suggests sex therapist, Suzi Godson.

QUESTION: My wife and I can’t seem to find time for sex. In the mornings I leave early and in the evenings we are both ready to fall asleep by the time we have put the children to bed. At the weekend it’s an endless runaround of family, children, and friends. It feels like we are falling out of the habit. We’ve both agreed to make an effort to change, but we are not sure of the best way to improve the situation.

ANSWER: We spend our lives looking for the perfect partner — and then when we’ve found them, we are too exhausted by the constraints of work, the stress of debt, the demands of parenting, and the relentless drudge of modern life to find enough time to have sex.
