There's no specific frequency for how often a couple "should" have sex. Have sex as often or as infrequently as you and your partner prefer, and prioritize quality over quantity: great sex less frequently is better than bad sex more often.
Statistically speaking, though, most couples have sex roughly once a week; however, people have sex less frequently as they age, and younger generations are having less sex than older ones.
