If you have a sexless marriage, you are not alone. According to recent surveys in the USA, nearly 20 million couples have a sexless marriage. Relationship experts define this type of marriage as one in which the couple engages in sexual intimacy no more than ten times in a year. For some couples, that type of situation may actually suit them just fine, but for the majority, it is a problem.
Men and women are very different when it comes to sex. Men often need sex to feel “connected” to their wife. Unfortunately, women need to feel “connected” before they want to have sex. See the problem? The truth is that sex is an important part of marriage because it helps to build and maintain intimate bonds between you and your spouse. Without sex those bonds will gradually weaken.
Sex for married couples is also different than sex for single people, and some people have difficulty making the transition to sex that is more about “emotional bonding” than “getting off.” Not to say that sex with your spouse isn’t as fun – you probably find it much more satisfying than those casual encounters your single friends claim to experience.
Some therapists look to blame a sexless marriage on a lack of sex drive on the part of the wife. This point of view can lead them to prescribe drugs or suggest sexual aids to “spice things up.” This may not be the best approach, and is often just a temporary fix. Often, when a woman seems to have a low desire for sex, it is because she lacks that emotional “connection” with her husband. This can be from arguing, dissatisfaction, stress, or any number of marital problems. If these other problems can be overcome, her sex drive will gradually return as her emotional connection to her husband strengthens.
Similarly, a man experiencing difficulty in the marriage will be reluctant to try to “push” his wife into having sex. He may also have “given up” trying to have sex with her. On one level he may even tell himself that he isn’t “attracted to her” anymore. The reality is, if his wife showed interest in sex he would be very attracted to her indeed.
You will find that as you improve your emotional bonds, your sexless marriage just might become a thing of the past.

Sex is serious business and you should take it seriously enough to seek out the right answers.
