Is this normal?

My husband (M25) and I (F23) have been married for 3 months together just shy of 2 years. We were both raised in Christian/conservative households that believed in sex after marriage. We did not wait for marriage but often struggled with the question of should we stop and wait or does it really matter. Now we’ve been married for 3 months and our bedroom is almost dead. We have sex maybe 1-2 times a month. I was always told newlyweds were very active and I sort of expected that. We don’t work strenuous jobs or have a lot of stress in our lives currently, we don’t have children and don’t want any for a couple of years. I have tried to talk with my husband about this and although we agree on making the effort to have more sex, it just doesn’t happen. I have tried to initiate multiple times in the past week and have been rejected. Is this normal, how do we go about fixing this?
