<p>How important is sex to a marriage? Very. If you think that you can go years without having regular sex and your marriage will be &#8220;just fine,&#8221; think again. Sex is necessary for both men and women (of any age) in order to keep a healthy level of intimacy in the relationship. Without sex, you might as well be &#8220;just friends.&#8221; The good news is that when it comes to dealing with a sexless marriage, you don&#8217;t need to waste months and lots of money on a therapist, you can fix your sexless marriage yourself. You just need the right tools. That&#8217;s where my fix your sexless marriage review comes in.</p>
<p>I have reviewed several relationship books, some better than others, but I have to admit, when Dean Mason and Kate Dixon sent me a copy of &#8220;Get him in the Mood &#8211; Make your Man Want You More&#8221; I was intrigued. See, they sent me the copy that is meant for women. That&#8217;s smart, because as a man I was able to go through it and verify that the advice given to my wife could be used to, well, get me in the mood!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to note that men and women are very different creatures. It is tempting to treat your spouse the same way that you would like to be treated, but this can be a huge mistake. So by writing two different books &#8211; one for men, and one for women &#8211; they have avoided the pitfall that most books about sexless marriage fall into &#8211; a &#8220;catch-all&#8221; mentality that fails to help either men or women.</p>
<p>This book covers all of the bases when it comes to sexless marriage:</p>
<div>
<ul>
<li>how important sex is to a relationship</li>
<li>why sexless marriage happens, and how did your marriage get to that point</li>
<li>what you can do about it</li>
<li>coping with a changing appearance</li>
<li>how to rekindle the passion</li>
<li>How to get him involved without him even knowing it</li>
<li>improving communication</li>
<li>how to kick it up a notch</li>
<li>a lot more</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>It&#8217;s clear that Kate Dixon is a real expert in the sexless marriage area. I know a lot more about human relations than most people, and her advice is right on the money. One thing that impresses me is that Kate takes a real focus on &#8220;self-esteem&#8221; and the havoc that a poor sex life can do to it.<br />
When it comes to trying to improve sexual relations with your spouse, there are common mistakes that most people make that end up pushing their partner away instead of bringing them closer. If you avoid these mistakes (everyone makes them and it has a lot to do with not realizing the different needs of men and women) you are going to be much more successful in fixing your sexless marriage. Again, this book covers all the bases in a thoughtful manner.</p>
<p>I am very impressed with the book for women and I am actually going to buy the book that is aimed at men because, although I have improved my sex life greatly with the other relationship books I have worked through, I think there is no substitute for having a guide that is focussed strictly on the topic of sexless marriage.</p>
<p>Be sure to take a look at the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://savethismarriage.org/go2/fixysxlssmarriage/l2" target="_blank">fixyoursexlessmarriage website</a> for information on their current bonuses. These guys love to throw in a few extra tidbits to really make it a value proposition. If you are serious about fixing your sexless marriage, you should definitely check out the fixyoursexlessmarriage website for more information. I should point out that Kate and Dean are so confident that you will love their guides that they offer a full 60 day money-back guarantee. If you do what they tell you, you will be having sex again with your spouse and your marriage will be that much stronger.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Ed Fisher<br />
Almost everybody experiences marriage problems if they have been married for any length of time. Whether it&#8217;s a matter of constant arguing and frustration; <a href="http://savethismarriage.org/blog/sexless-marriage/" target="_blank">sexless marriage</a>; you can&#8217;t seem to stand each other; or it just feels like the love is gone &#8211; it&#8217;s time to do something about it. But let me assure you before you go any further: you <strong>can</strong> solve your marriage problems. Even if your spouse doesn&#8217;t seem to want to try, there are lots of things you can do to fix things.</p>
<p><a href="http://savethismarriage.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/doesmarriagecounselingwork.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-281" style="margin: 10px;" title="Marriage Problems" src="http://savethismarriage.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/doesmarriagecounselingwork.jpg" alt="marriage problems" width="298" height="197" /></a>In my own case (you can go to the <a href="http://savethismarriage.org/" target="_blank">front page of this blog</a> to read my story and why I started this site) we were arguing all the time and it seemed like we were headed for divorce. If you have kids like my wife and I, divorce really is the last option. We tried marriage counseling which was an expensive waste of time in my opinion. You might want to check out my article <em><a href="http://savethismarriage.org/blog/does-marriage-counseling-work/" target="_blank">Does Marriage Counseling Work</a></em> is you are thinking of counseling.  I think it can be a good idea if you prepare yourself first.</p>
<p>Now I have to warn you &#8211; the articles you find on the internet are often ridiculous and can be extremely harmful to your marriage. As an example, you might read an article that suggests it is a good idea to make your partner jealous. This might just be the single worst mistake you can make. You are not in high school anymore, are you? Playing games is no way to fix marriage problems. I assure you, you will drive your spouse away. This is an example of the bad advice that is everywhere online. As I stress on this blog, you need EXPERT advice. You need to listen to people who have helped thousands of couples solve their marriage problems, not just someone out to make a quick buck.</p>
<p>One of the most respected marriage counselor/marriage experts is Dr. Lee Baucom. I have written a review of his book <em>Save the Marriage</em> (click this link: <a href="http://savethismarriage.org/reviews/save-the-marriage-by-lee-baucom-review/">Save The Marriage Review</a>) which I credit with getting my own marriage back on track. Go read my review if you are serious about getting your own marriage in order. I collected a bunch of articles written by Dr. Baucom and I have collected some other articles by marriage expert <a href="http://savethismarriage.org/reviews/save-my-marriage-today-by-amy-waterman-review/">Amy Waterman</a>, and have put them into a great FREE email pack that I hope you will sign up for (in the box on the right). I&#8217;ll send you a few articles everyday that will really help you out and I won&#8217;t give out your email. Sign up right now and you&#8217;ll get your first free articles right away.</p>
<p>The best advice I can give to solving your marriage problems is to sign up for the free email series, and read the reviews of the marriage products on the front page of this blog. Your marriage is worth spending a few dollars on expert advice, don&#8217;t you think? Of course. Those products are the best few dollars you can spend &#8211; and if they don&#8217;t help you, you can get your money back (within 60 days). Please don&#8217;t just read internet articles. You will be misled if you do. I want to wish you good luck in dealing with your marriage problems and I hope you can save your marriage like I did!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>What you need to know about Online Marriage Counseling</em></p>
<p>by Ed Fisher<em>, </em>founder<em> </em>of savethismarriage.org<em><br />
</em></p>
<p>Online marriage counseling sounds attractive to people who, for whatever reason, find it impossible to visit a marriage counselor where they live. Of course, the same problem that applies to marriage counselors also applies to online marriage counseling: counseling only helps 1 in 10 marriages. 50% of couples who choose counseling end up divorced. A 10% customer satisfaction rate sounds terrible, and it is. The message is that choosing the right marriage counselor, in person or online, is crucial.</p>
<p>Too many therapists trained to handle the problems of individuals think that they are capable of counseling couples. Unfortunately, marital therapy is very different from individual therapy. The techniques that work in individual therapy – getting feelings out in the open for example – can actually destroy a relationship. Marriage counseling is a very delicate business involving vulnerable people who are angry, desperate, easily hurt and often have many complex issues to deal with. The focus must be on the relationship, however, not the individual. “Putting everything on the table” is the worst thing you can do and yet it is typical of wrongheaded counselors and happened in my own marriage counseling experience.</p>
<p>So what can you do if you are looking for online marriage counseling? Your first step should be to do what I recommend that everyone does when considering counseling: explore the online resources that are reviewed on this site: read Mike Mandelson’s reviews of  <a href="http://savethismarriage.org/reviews/save-my-marriage-today-by-amy-waterman-review/" target="_blank">Save My Marriage Today by Amy Waterman</a> and <a href="http://savethismarriage.org/reviews/relationship-recovery-review/" target="_blank">Relationship Recovery by Rachel Rider</a> and my own review of <a href="http://savethismarriage.org/reviews/save-the-marriage-by-lee-baucom-review/" target="_blank">Lee Baucom’s excellent Save The Marriage</a> (links open in new window). Choose the program(s) which seems like the best fit for you. These programs are created by people with a large amount of marriage counselling experience and are very successful at helping people improve and save their marriages.</p>
<p>These proven programs are more effective than online marriage counselling. The truth is that you have more power than you think to save your own marriage, even if your spouse is not interested. You just need the tools that experienced professionals can give you. So I urge you to read the reviews of these top marriage products and try them out. I saved my own marriage (that a marriage counselor almost destroyed) by using these programs so I speak from experience. By the way, all of the marriage products I recommend here come with 60 day satisfaction guarantees (or your money back) so you have nothing to lose but everything to gain.</p>
<p>One of the problems with online marriage counselling is that you can waste a lot of expensive one-on-one time with the online marriage counselor as that person essentially teaches you some human psychology so that you understand why you and your spouse act the way you do etc. etc. and this type of valuable information is best served to you in the inexpensive programs I recommend. So get the programs, read them and watch the videos and you will probably save your marriage without ever needing a counselor. If you still want more online marriage counseling, you will be much better prepared to make the most of it and will accomplish your goals in much less time. Good Luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://savethismarriage.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/relationship-Recovery-Review11-150x150.jpg" alt="relationship recovery review" title="relationship-Recovery-Review1" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-328" />Reviewer: MIKE MANDELSON</p>
<p>I see so many ebooks on how to get the man or woman of your dreams, but very few that offer insights on how to live happily ever after. When the gloss starts to wear off your relationship, when the times get a little tough, when it&#8217;s not as easy to love your partner as it used to be, who do you turn to?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a problem that plagues me a lot as I contemplate relationships, and it was at the forefront of my mind as I reviewed Rachel Rider&#8217;s &#8220;Relationship Recovery&#8221; course recently. I get a lot of ebooks and courses come across my desk, each telling me that their method is the magic bullet, so it&#8217;s not often I get excited.</p>
<p>Until now.</p>
<p>Check out the Relationship Recovery Website (opens new window):</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://savethismarriage.org/go2/relationshiprecoverywomen/l1" target=_"blank">Women Click Here </a></p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://savethismarriage.org/go2/realtionshiprecoverymen/l1" target="_blank">Men Click Here<br />
</a></p>
<p>The first thing that struck me about Rachel&#8217;s book was how attractively it&#8217;s laid out. Not some hastily prepared ebook so typical of most sites, this book is professionally laid out and graphically designed, a good indication of the level of professionalism I have come to expect from Meet Your Sweet.</p>
<p>The next thing I noticed was the forthright and honest manner in which the author engages with the reader. Rachel is a newer addition to the Meet Your Sweet group of writers led by Slade Shaw and Mirabelle Summers, but she has quickly established herself as a credible source and a talented writer.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s refreshing to see her approach on how to move forward with saving a relationship. I see a lot of people looking for people to blame when a relationship is in trouble, and from my experience it only introduces a raft of new problems. Rachel&#8217;s approach where she looks within the reader for a place to start is both poignant and productive.</p>
<p>After all, we can&#8217;t change how others act and behave, so the best vehicle for change is within ourselves. Examining and challenging beliefs and behaviors is a great place to start, and leading this change by example is indicative of Meet Your Sweet&#8217;s progressive thinking when it comes to personal growth and empowerment.</p>
<p>Rachel covers topics such as soulfulness, understanding our evolution and personal development and the effect this has had on our current state, our belief systems, the life cycle of a relationship, communication processes, healthy relationship values, ways to reconnect with your partner even if you are the only one that wants to, and much more.</p>
<p>Covering nearly 200 pages, this course is a powerful medium for personal change and growth, in the belief that through personal growth and empowerment can come change in external influences such as your relationship and the way you interact with your loved one.</p>
<p>In addition to the ebook is a bonus book, &#8220;Repair After Separation,&#8221; plus a bonus interview with counselors Dr Rob Bilton and Melody Chase about their secrets on what every couple must know to develop a happy and long lasting relationship.</p>
<p>I was surprised at the high quality of knowledge passed on in this course, and think that with the right commitment to exploring these methods, any reader in relationship crisis can learn and apply some brilliant methods which can guarantee success.</p>
<p>But it starts with YOU.</p>
<p>I thoroughly recommend this course to any couple, married or otherwise, who are serious about delivering powerful personal change as a method to overcoming relationship troubles. It has changed my thoughts and beliefs about successful relationships, and goes far beyond most relationship-saving courses I have seen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>by Alex Davison<br />
Considering that the divorce rate has been hovering at or above 50% for a long time now, it is worth putting some very serious thought into ways to save marriage from divorce.  Because the couples who fail to do this are the ones most likely to end up as a statistic.  If you want to be sure your marriage has the best chance of surviving and not ending up in divorce court, now is the time to pay attention.  Following are some very destructive behaviors which need to be avoided if you want to save marriage from divorce.</p>
<p><a href="http://savethismarriage.org/">[Note From Ed: I hope you enjoy this article. Don't forget to click on this link for great information about how to save marriage from divorce.] </a><br />
Keeping score</p>
<p>A marriage is meant to be a true partnership, not a competition in which one or both of you constantly keeps score of what your spouse does or doesn’t do for you.  While light-hearted, playful competition is fun, expecting your partner to give you something or do something for you in return for each nice thing you do for him is destructive to the relationship.  It creates a power struggle and is usually an attempt to control each other.  And it fosters resentment and mistrust; two things that definitely won’t help save marriage from divorce.</p>
<p>For example, if a husband sacrifices a day of golf with his buddies in order to stay home and watch the children while his wife goes shopping, it looks like a kind deed on the surface.  However, there is nothing truly kind and giving about it if he holds it over her head as a “debt” when he wants something from her in the future.  To save marriage from divorce, doing things for each other must stem from love and caring, not from manipulation, agendas, or “debt”.  When that becomes the case, a marriage is in serious trouble.</p>
<p>Nagging at your spouse</p>
<p>Sadly, we learn a lot of unhealthy behaviors from our parents.  If you grew up in a home in which one of your parents frequently nagged the other, you may find yourself doing the same thing to your spouse.  And I guarantee you your spouse does not like to be nagged.</p>
<p>Nagging is like water constantly dripping on a rock; over time it slowly wears it down.  The same thing happens in your marriage when you nag.  It slowly pushes your partner away, at least emotionally, creating a rift which can eventually become a chasm too large to repair.  If you are prone to nagging, work on stopping this behavior as soon possible to save marriage from divorce.</p>
<p>Verbal abuse</p>
<p>Words can be extremely destructive, particularly in a marriage. If you are prone to losing your temper and saying ugly, hurtful or vicious things to your partner, you need to change this behavior immediately.  Verbal abuse will eventually take an emotional toll on your spouse.  While you may feel they are “just words” and forget that you even said them a day or two later, your spouse definitely will not forget.</p>
<p>The sting of verbal abuse can go deep, and cruel words can be very difficult to forget for the person who is on the receiving end.  If you are having marriage problems and truly want to save marriage from divorce, verbal abuse of any kind must stop immediately.</p>
<p>These are just a few of many things that can eventually tear a couple apart.  Each behavior is not only destructive, it is also incredibly disrespectful.  If you really desire to have a happy, healthy marriage and save marriage from divorce, ask yourself if you are doing anything destructive to the relationship similar to the above.  If so, do whatever it takes to begin to make some changes.  Your marriage will definitely benefit if you do!</p>

<p>Married couples often go through a period of time when they think the relationship may be starting to unravel.  If you and your spouse are in this situation, you are probably looking for solutions to the common question, “how can I save our marriage?”.  While every couple is different, there are some key things which are practically universal when it comes to keeping a marriage together.</p>
<p>***A Note from Ed: Please enjoy this guest article and don&#8217;t forget to click this link to our homepage:  <a href="http://savethismarriage.org/">for great save your marriage advice***<br />
</a><br />
If you are worried about your relationship and wondering to yourself, “how can I save our marriage?”, then please keep reading.  This article will help you to understand 4 basic needs that should be met, at least to a significant degree, in a marriage.  If your marriage is in trouble, then at least one or more of these needs is not being met.  Work on these if you long to answer the question of “what can I do to save our marriage”.</p>
<p>The need to be loved</p>
<p>Everyone has the basic human need for love.  Without it, life is empty and lonely.  For many people, just knowing they are loved and cherished by one key person, often a spouse, but it could also be a friend or family member, is incredibly empowering.  Being loved can give strength, inspiration, and purpose.  It is imperative when it comes to knowing how you can “save our marriage” that you truly show your spouse that he or she is loved.</p>
<p>The need to feel significant</p>
<p>In a world with over 6 billion people, it is pretty easy to feel insignificant.  When two people get married, there is often an amazing sense of being truly significant and special to one another.  Like love, this feeling of significance can be energizing and empowering.  Feeling significant gives a person a sense of specialness.  Even if no one else notices, you know that your spouse knows how special and unique you are.  If “how can I save our marriage” is your concern, then you need to ask yourself if you are treating your spouse as someone who is truly significant to you.  Are you meeting that need?</p>
<p>The need for intimacy</p>
<p>We all have a deep need and longing for intimacy.  Marriage is a sacred place for both physical and emotional intimacy to be shared between you and your spouse.  When you are intimate, you shut out the rest of the world and share a closeness and bond that is very powerful.  Intimacy is that sense of connection which we all long for.  If you hope to “save our marriage”, then you must allow that vulnerability with your spouse that is part of true intimacy.  If either of you are guarded, or refuses to let the other person in, then this need cannot be fully met.</p>
<p>The need to be your authentic self</p>
<p>Unfortunately we live in a world in which we often feel we must put on a façade or persona.  This is particularly true in our work but may also be true in many other areas of our life.  Few people are secure enough to fully be themselves with others.  But the one place which should be safe to be authentic is a marriage.  As with intimacy, if one or both of you feel you must be guarded, and can’t truly be yourself, it will hinder your relationship in many ways.</p>
<p>The strongest and healthiest marriages are those in which both people can be truly authentic with each other.  In order for you to find the best way to “save our marriage”, you must find a way to eliminate any barriers in your relationship which inhibit either of you from truly being yourself with the other.</p>
<p>When these four basic human needs are being met within your marriage, you will no longer need to wonder “how can I save our marriage”.  Your marriage will thrive and be stronger than ever.</p>

<p>Guest post:</p>
<p>Save the Marriage</p>
<p>by Laura Cardinale<br />
No marriage is perfect, but some certainly fair better than others.  And many marriages fluctuate between periods of things going really well and periods of struggle.  But when things get particularly bad, you may find yourself wondering what things you can do to save the marriage.  While in some cases it may take drastic measures, there are often some less extreme changes you can make which will have much more positive impact than you might think.</p>
<p>If your marriage is currently going through a difficult time, read on for two seemingly small adjustments you and your spouse can make to save the marriage.  Often it’s the little things that can really make a difference over time.</p>
<p>Get out of the routine rut</p>
<p>It is very easy to get stuck in a mundane routine which begins to make your marriage feel lifeless and dull.  It happens in countless marriages because to a large degree, we, as humans, like to stay in our comfort zone.  And routines are “comfortable”.  That being said, routines do serve some purpose in terms of keeping life ordered rather than chaotic.  So there must be a balance.</p>
<p><a href="http://savethismarriage.org/">I hope you enjoy this article and don&#8217;t forget to visit the savethismarriage.org home page (by clicking this link) for my advice and important information that will help you to save your marriage</a> &#8211; Ed</p>
<p>If you are at a point where you need to save the marriage, it may be time to spice things up a bit and change your routine.  Decide to break your normal routine for a few weeks.  Perhaps you can agree to be more spontaneous when it comes to intimacy.  Rather than do the same activity week after week (like dinner at your parents every Thursday night) reserve that block of time and choose a different activity every week.  It will help you pull out of the stagnant pattern you have fallen into.</p>
<p>Don’t forget the romance!</p>
<p>Often when two people feel they need to save the marriage, the romance has fizzled or disappeared altogether.  When you were first dating, and perhaps even early on in your marriage, there was probably a lot of romance.  Flowers, love notes, candlelight dinners, etc. were an important part of your relationship.</p>
<p>Romance is fun, exciting, and is a way to show your spouse how special he or she is to you.  Romance is also part of what separates your relationship with each other from all your other relationships in life.</p>
<p>Too many couples quickly neglect this part of their relationship, especially when careers, children and household chores take up all of their time and energy.  The romantic gestures and times together dwindle or cease altogether.  Except for occasional sex, they begin practically living like roommates.</p>
<p>If your marriage is struggling and you are not sure what to do to save the marriage, one of the things which can help is to start “dating” again and bring romance back into the picture.  While it may seem silly or superficial, those special loving gestures can help you begin to reconnect.  You know what things make your spouse feel special.  And that is really what romance is all about.</p>
<p>If you truly want to save the marriage, work towards bringing some spontaneity and romance back into your relationship.  Not only will it make you both feel more energized and alive, it will add some much needed fun.  But most of all, those romantic gestures will help reignite the passion that was once there as you strive to show your spouse, in little ways, just how much he or she means to you.</p>

If the primary concern going through your head these days is “what am I going to do about saving my marriage”, you are definitely not alone.  At any given time thousands of couples are struggling with marital difficulties.  Many are in a full blown marital crisis or have already given up and filed for divorce.  But it doesn’t have to be that way.  Allow me to share with you some steps I took to get my marriage back on track when, like you, all I could think about was saving my marriage.</p>
<p>[note from Ed: I hope you enjoy this guest article. Don't forget: internet articles are not going to save your marriage. You must take action! <a href="http://savethismarriage.org/" target="_blank">Check out this link for my advice and some great information on saving marriages</a>. ]</p>
<p>Change expectations</p>
<p>When my marriage was falling apart I had to realize that if saving my marriage was truly important to me, then perhaps I needed to start by changing my expectations.  I was young and naïve when I got married.  I had all sorts of unrealistic expectations about marriage which were creating problems.  Following were a few of them which I had to change:</p>
<p>•    A good marriage should never have conflict<br />
•    My spouse should know me so well that I don’t need to say out loud what I’m feeling inside – if I’m upset, he should just know why<br />
•    There should always be lots of romance and excitement in our marriage</p>
<p>I wish I could say that is the entire list, but for the moment I will just share those.  As you can see, I had expectations which were impossible for even the best marriage to live up to.</p>
<p>Be a giver not a taker</p>
<p>Another area which I really needed to change for the sake of saving my marriage was to stop always being a taker.  While I didn’t mean to be, I began to realize that I was often very selfish in the relationship.  I expected my spouse to give and give, but I wasn’t really giving much in return.  I had to really step back and recognize that I couldn’t take my spouse for granted; that I needed to let go of my self-centered tendencies and start looking for ways to be much more giving to my spouse.</p>
<p>Build up my spouse’s self-esteem</p>
<p>One of the areas I had really let my spouse down was by not truly building up her self-esteem.  I had just naively assumed that she never needed that from me.  She had so many wonderful qualities.  I rarely said or did anything affirming, because I thought she didn’t need it from me.  Needless to say, when I really started focusing on saving my marriage, building up her self-esteem became a top priority.</p>
<p>Be supportive</p>
<p>One of the key areas I really needed to focus on with regards to saving my marriage was to be much more supportive of my spouse.  I had foolishly taken her strengths and self-confidence for granted.  I didn’t realize just how much she longed for my support, comfort and reassurance</p>
<p>Saving my marriage became a high priority for me.  As I worked on each of these three areas I found that my spouse was responding by giving me more of the same in return.  I had been neglecting my marriage for a long time.  Hopefully, you will stop neglecting yours and begin taking some powerful steps.  For me, it took time and effort, but it was well worth it.  I hope it is for you also!</p>

<p>For 2+ years I was living in a sexless marriage. Today my wife Allison and I have a wonderful, fulfilling sex life and we are much closer as a result. The big secret? It wasn&#8217;t marriage counseling. That almost destroyed our marriage. I fixed my marriage and my sex life using  some great products that I found online. These products were created by experts who&#8217;ve saved thousands of relationships. They gave me the tools I needed to bring sex back into my marriage and even save my marriage from divorce. Marriage counseling is tricky. It fails too often. It&#8217;s dangerous if not done properly. And not having sex is dangerous to your marriage also. More than you might think. At the bottom of this page I have a form for my free email series of great articles I&#8217;ve collected that will help you with all of your marriage problems. Don&#8217;t forget to sign up. Now, about Sexless Marriage:</p>
<p>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.  In my case it was even less than that. I would go 6 plus months at a time. For some couples, that type of situation may actually suit them just fine, but for the majority, it is a problem.</p>
<p>The truth is that sex is an important part of marriage because it helps to build and maintain the bonds between you and your spouse. Without sex those bonds will gradually weaken. There is actually a chemical released in the brain during sex called oxytocin that allows people to become more attached to each other. Get the idea? &#8211; Sex helps to keep people connected to their spouse in a very real way! Lose the sex and your marriage steadily weakens.</p>
<p>Bringing sex back into the marriage is not straightforward. Men and women need different things when it comes to sex, so it is hard for a man to know what his wife needs to get back in the swing of things and just as difficult for a woman to understand what it will take to get her husband back in the mood. Dealing with the opposite sex can be like dealing with aliens!</p>
<p>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 &#8220;spice things up.&#8221; 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 &#8220;connection&#8221; 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.</p>
<p>Similarly, a man experiencing difficulty in the marriage will be reluctant to try to &#8220;push&#8221; his wife into having sex. He may also have &#8220;given up&#8221; trying to have sex with her. On one level he may even tell himself that he isn&#8217;t &#8220;attracted to her&#8221; anymore. The reality is, if he started having fulfilling sex with her again, he would quickly find himself just as attracted to her as he ever was. The brain is an amazing organ that literally rewires itself to make that happen.</p>
<p>My point is that attraction is probably not the issue &#8211; the lack of emotional connection is. Rebuilding that connection by improving  the overall relationship can be an important factor in fixing your sexless marriage and there are proven, tried-and-true methods that many couples have used to strengthen their marriages and get the sex happening again.</p>
<p><strong>What can YOU do to bring the Sex back into your sexless marriage?</strong></p>
<p>First, don&#8217;t give up. Sex is more important than you probably realized. Sex is serious business and you should take it seriously enough to seek out the right answers. How do you do that? In my experience counseling costs a lot of money but is rarely effective unless you find the right, specially trained therapist. Too many therapists haven&#8217;t been properly trained in couples therapy, and besides: YOU CAN DO THIS YOURSELF <a href="/about/" target="_blank">just like I did</a> by using some of the great information products available on the internet that can lead you every step of the way.</p>

I have personally read all of them and have strengthened my own marriage immensely.  Marriage counseling almost destroyed my marriage. These information products saved my marriage.
