This is when you’ll lose the passion and sex in your relationship… but it’s good news if you have kids, say experts
A study has helped researching pin-point the exact moment the spark with your partner is most likely to die
A NEW study has revealed exactly when you'll lose the passion and sex in your relationship but it's not all bad news if you have children.
Researchers from claim they can pin-point the moment a couple will lose their spark.
After conducting a study which asked 3000 people between the ages of 25 and 40 to evaluated their sex lives, scientists from the university found “a positive development of sexual satisfaction in the first year of a relationship, followed by a steady decline.”
Experts claimed the first year of a relationship is typically passionate because people wanted to satisfy their partner's sexual desires.

But after the pair had achieved that, differences in sex drive begin to show and sexual frequency started to decline.
And researchers also found that the passion in relationships continued to drop as time passed, with only 27 per cent of couples who'd made it to the 16 year mark saying they were sexually satisfied.
However, there was some positive news, the study revealed that having kids didn't negatively impact a couple's sex life.
“We did not find that having children played a major role in a couple’s sexual satisfaction, which is remarkable as research has shown that sexual frequency is heavily influenced by the existence and age of children,” explained the researchers.
