My husband has ALWAYS preferred mornings for sex.
I feel bad for him, because I simply can NOT wake up enough in the morning to oblige him.
For special occasions, I've set the alarm 2 hours earlier than his just to give him that special sex, but frankly--getting up 2 hours earlier just for sex never worked for me. Unfortunately, late at night (when I'm more likely to be in the mood) doesn't work for him--he's tired, shut down for the day, just doesn't work.
We worked TOGETHER to come up with a time that worked for both of us. That meant a lot of talking and experimenting with other times of the day. We found one that worked (right after work), and that worked great.
However--you HAVE to be willing to revisit the discussion and make changes when life changes--a new shift at work for one of you, a baby being born, etc. After our son was born, in the morning actually works a little BETTER for me, because it's the only time of day I actually feel rested!
You need to work TOGETHER, with LOTS of conversations, to make it work for both of you.
