Sexless Marriage Help
Statistics show that 15% of all marriages are sexless marriages. Some reasons for the high number of sexless marriages include: lack of sex drive, no sexual attraction, lack of communication and boredom.
Whatever the reason of the sexless marriage, there is help available. Marriages can still work, even if you have been in a sexless marriage for years, but you both have to want it to work.
Communication is important. Talk to your spouse about the lack of sex. If the lack of sex is not by choice, then you or your spouse need to go to a doctor. If it is something that just slowly started happening talk about what you can do to make the time and interest in your sexual relationship happen.
If a sexless marriage is something you have agreed upon then it might be ideal to help each other to find ways to fulfill each others sexual needs without intercourse.
Despite popular belief sex is not a necessity. You will not die or get physically ill without sex. Try to be happy without sex. They say your sexual urges come from the same place as your creative urges, so try to channel your sexual urges toward some kind of creative activity or hobby, painting for example. Romance can be sparked when you let the urge for sex go. Just enjoy spending time with your other half.
If it seems like you’ve tried everything to try to help your sexless marriage and nothing works, it could be time to try therapy or counseling. There are other marriages that have this problem and it can help greatly to talk to others in your same situation.
Not only will talking to others help you to feel better, but counseling can help you to understand your spouse and yourself better. Getting to the root of the problem and setting goals to change your problem are some beginning steps in mending your sexless marriage.
