Sex in marriage week ahead Nov 13-17
Once married, a couple may experience a time when the sex is good or at least new and exciting. As time wears on in any relationship, sex is one of the first problems that rarely will get discussed. Talking openly about sex in marriage is not a topic that many couples feel comfortable with.
A couple can be married for years and still have a lack of communication surrounding sex in the marriage. Sexual frustration in the marriage will spill over into other parts of the relationship?
In a five part series on "sex in marriage" we will explore the reasons why sex has become a sexual prison for so many couples and how to break the chains of sexual frustration. We will discuss how to open the lines of communications between couples, along with solutions to sexual problems and making sex fun.
The fact is "human sexuality" is complex. When we add in a persons past sexual experience, coupled with expectations from their partner, with lack of communication it can lead to sexual problems in the marriage..
The topics that are coming up in this series are:
How to open up and communicate with your spouse surrounding sex
The mistakes that people make regarding sex in relationships
Reasons why a husband or a wife may not want to have sex with their spouse
How to make sex fun in a relationship.
I will leave you with a comment from one reader on an article that I wrote, that hit #1 on Squidoo entitled “Reasons why a husband does not want to have sex with his wife”
Ok, heres my take as a guy. When my wife and I were dating, we had sex ALL the time. I'm talking like at least 4 times a week. Since we got married, it went down to 2 times a week and now she says "that's all you think about". Well the less I get it now, the less I want it. I mean come on 10 minutes maybe twice a week? Sure I still want sex, but now I'm thinking of having it with other women and not her. It's become a chore and not fun anymore. She used to always suggest new things we could try and now it's like "let's get this over". I never would have gotten married if I knew it would kill the sex. I'd rather hang out with the guys if I'm not going to be having regular sex
