Default The sex-starved marriage: When your libidos don't match

Many couples find themselves tangled in a troubling web when their sex drives are different, and it can wreck havoc on a marriage. Michele Weiner Davis, author of The Sex-Starved Marriage: Boosting Your Marriage Libido - A Couple's Guide, shares some advice to put your marriage and your sex life on the right track!

From a frustrated husband


Dear Michele,

Please, please help me. I am going through hell!! I am 28 years old, married with a three-year-old daughter. For the past three years, my wife has avoided being sexual with me. It has slowly gone from having sex maybe twice a week to now, if I'm lucky, once a month. And even then, it's not really having sex. It's more like her saying, "Hurry up and get in here, and let's do this before our child wakes up." There is no foreplay. She doesn't even kiss me. I'm the one who always is initiating any sort of affection.

Default Re: The sex-starved marriage: When your libidos don't match

I’ve been married for eight years, but lately we’ve been having a lot of trouble with our relationship. We had our first child, Lindsey, in September of last year and she is the most wonderful precious thing on the planet, but since then, my partner and I have not been able to regain our intimacy. I now realize that the problem is my relationship with myself.

I read the book Harmonic Wealth by James Ray and his section on relationships was an eye-opener for me. He reminded me that my most important relationship in the world (even more than Lindsey which I find hard to accept!) is with MYSELF and that if I didn’t take care of that, I wouldn’t find success in other relationships. Has anyone else read this book? Any tips on how to balance family life with love for oneself?
