AT LEAST A 10+
I am married and have one child at home and another out of the house. My husband has one child out of the house. We have blended very well as a family because I made my husband the man of the house and respect his wishes.
My husband gets along better with my son than I do. He sets the rules and my son knows to follow them or move out. My son is 19 and is able to live on his own because he did this before coming back home when his lease expired. By setting clear rules and consequences, my husband and son know the boundaries and can discuss things better than I ever expected.
As far as being intimate, we have a fantastic physical side to our marriage. We are totally committed to each other and like to express it in a physical way. We do this as often as possible (when we have the house to ourselves).

I have been married for a year but we have been together for 23 years. Id rate it as an eight and no i am not going anywhere and yes, the sex has dwindled over the years mostly because of "LIFE" more than anything, but it has been great and that is because it is forever changing. We communicate our likes and dislikes. The best advice I have for every relationship is this; we had the greatest sex life because no matter what we always tell each other what we like or don't like. Sometimes we even laugh at things we tried. If something doesnt feel good, dont feel afraid to say it, just as much as if something does feel great, tell your partner, I don't know too many people who would not want to please thier partner. It gives you confidence and this is all you really need.

My husband and I have been married less than a year and I have two children from previous relationships. We have had great challenges blending parenting styles + my children are older and more set in there ways. I love my husband dearly but with all the struggles we've had - you name it we've probably had it - I would have to rate it about a 4, but I'm still hopeful and very committed. As far as the sex and intimacy, I just hope I get brave enough to check out some books at Barnes and Noble on the subject.

I have been married 15 years. I would rate mine 8. We have 1 child. The intimacy is still there and yes, the sex has dropped off due to conflicting schedules. I am in this forever. If I had just 1 thought that I was not happy, then I would reconsider my options. We work through our problems and are dedicated to each other.I think that he would have to cheat on me to get me to move on. Hasn't happened yet. We are still very much in love.

I would rate my marriage a 9. I have been married for 16 years with two kids. Sex has its ups and downs - but my husband and I have great communication with each other. I can't imagine being with anyone else.

8 to 10 all the time. When sex or intimacey dropped off I accepted it as is and just got on with my life. Gradually things came back to a more even keel.

The sex will drop off in any long term relationship
but to answer your question, I'd rate mine a solid 6.

7, Married 7 years with 4 kids. We all have high's and low's in our marriages. If I didn't have kids I would be gone but with them its worth it to stick with it and try my best. It's not horrible just like you said "luke warm". Things get better if you want them to.

I would have to say between 8-9. You just have to wait it out and find the RIGHT one.

If you have kids, everyone experiences this. Try and be sexy for each other. That's my advice. Rating 7.83
