Problems With Sex Can Point To Deeper Problems
If you’re having sexual issues in your marriage, it could point to deeper problems. For example, your partner might not feel very sexual not because of a lack of desire, but because they’re exhausted from work, or struggling with an illness. Or perhaps your partner has betrayed your trust in some way, which puts you off wanting to be intimate with them.
If one or both of you desires sex less than normal, it’s important to communicate with each other about it. You might want to start by giving the person whose libido has waned some time to think through what’s really going on with them and why they desire less sex these days.
Sex isn’t the only indicator of underlying problems in your marriage, but if the amount of sex you have changes, it could point to a problem that needs dealing with. The issue might not be between the two of you – it might be that one of you is stressed or just doesn’t have the energy, in which case you can try to deal with those issues together.
