"You have to keep it healthy," Coco told E! News from the red carpet of Heidi Klum's 23rd Annual Halloween Party in New York on October 31. "I believe that three times a week is nice and healthy. After 23 years, I believe that is satisfactory. I think you should keep it up."
What keeps the duo, who played murderous clowns at the spooktacular celebration, excited? "We usually wear masks like these," she said, alluding to her husband's terrifying outfit. "Incorporate in the sex world."
But it's equally crucial to consider what you do outside of the bedroom.
"We do a lot of date nights," the man, 45, said, "going to dinner, getting dressed up for each other and picking out what he wants me to wear."
Meanwhile, Ice-T, who has an 8-year-old daughter named Chanel with his wife, emphasized that a lack of intimacy in a relationship might be indicative of a larger issue.
"When you first get with somebody, you want to have sex, right?" he said. "If it ever ends, it's over. "When that feeling passes, forget about it."
In fact, the rapper previously stated that "jungle sex" was essential to keeping their relationship alive.
"That flame has to stay lit," the 65-year-old told E! back in January. "When that flame goes out and you're not really attracted to each other anymore, you have to address that very quickly because it's something that's necessary."
Although an engaging sex life is important for a relationship, it is their day-to-day interactions that truly solidify their bond.
"I think Coco and I are teammates," he remarked. "We need to be teammates, not opponents, assets, or liabilities. I respect what she offers to me, and I believe it works the other way around. "We appreciate each other."
And Ice-T understands that having the perfect costar in your personal life is key to happiness, especially throughout the ups and downs.
"Getting married is like casting for a movie," the rapper recently told E!. "You've got to find someone who's prepared for every situation. There are going to be some entertaining scenes. There will be heartbreaking scenes. There are going to be some painful scenes. There will be fight scenes."
"A lot of people don't sign up for the entire movie," he added. "They just sign up for the good part."
