Sexual Dissatisfaction in Marriage
Sexual intimacy between husband and wife can be among the most satisfying benefits of marriage, yet many couples feel unfulfilled. Basic gender differences present a primary challenge. Add to that repeated excuses €œI €™m not in the mood, € €œI have a headache, € €œWe don €™t have to have sex every night, do we? € and it €™s easy to feel rejected, insecure and frustrated. Honest communication is the starting point. Discovering the €œwhy € behind sexual dissatisfaction can uncover the €œhow € for overcoming the marital bedroom blues.
