A guide to understanding and fixing a sexless marriage is what it’s called but can it help you do the same? Well, Christine Taylor writes from the perspective of a woman who has faced the problem herself, which it makes it all the more valid.
Although sex is not the be-all and end-all of a marriage, sex is a very important part of the relationship, which makes it different from all others. It is often what got you together in the first place and can help to keep you together.
One of the false assumptions people make is they think a sexless marriage means no sex whatsoever, but this is incorrect. A sexless marriage is defined as a couple who have sex less than 10 times a year, which means that there are more sexless marriages than one would think.
At the beginning of this book, you will read a story that will sound familiar to anyone who has faced the problem of a sexless marriage. As it states, this is a familiar scenario being played out in millions of bedrooms across America every night.
To be honest, I think this is a bit of an exaggeration but I won’t argue with the possibility that it occurs in millions of bedrooms across the entire world. Sexless marriages are a widespread problem that affects many couples.
While no one can quantify the marital contentment to sex ratio, the evidence suggests that couples who have more sex have happier marriages.
There is so much misleading information spoken about sexless marriages that it’s good to hear from someone who has had to deal with the problem first hand. Christine had what was technically a sexless marriage but managed to overcome all the problems it entails.
She explains how she felt at the time and after one big fight realized that if she didn’t do something about it, her marriage was in danger.
In the book, Christine goes into how sex is viewed differently by men and women and how it affects their own particular needs and wants in a marriage.
The thing is, she says, is that a sexless marriage is not always about sex, but about showing affection to your spouse. It’s the little things that show you care that matter as well.
Without intimacy and the release that comes from sexual contact, other areas of the marriage will suffer.
In The Sexless Marriage Cure the many reasons for a sexless marriages are first explained and then how to deal with them.
As one gets older, physical problems, as well as depression in one partner can make the other partner feel rejected and unloved. Whether it’s a physical problem or psychological the end result is no sex and sometimes a failed marriage.
Apart from sexual dysfunctions such as having low libido, a sexless marriage is usually the symptom of an ongoing relationship problem. Looking at it this way, you only have to fix your relationship issues and your sexless marriage will be fixed too.
Marital issues such as infidelity can be hard to overcome and also the fact that some spouses ‘let themselves go’ and their partner no longer finds them attractive.
All these issues and many more are addressed in The Sexless Marriage Cure as well male and female sexual dysfunction.
So much for some causes of a sexless marriage, what does Christine actually say about fixing a sexless marriage as the title of the book suggests?
To tell you the truth, it would be too difficult to describe in a short review such as this.
The Sexless Marriage Cure explains what you should do in so many different scenarios it is difficult to describe them all. I am sure you will find one that describes your own situation.
All I can say is that it’s absolutely chock full of advice that will help many people stuck in a sexless marriage.
It’s obvious that Christine has been through a lot of the problems in her own marriage and understands a much more about the subject than most. This is what makes it such a fascinating read; it is personal and all the more interesting as a result.
Let’s just say after reading it I am sure you will have a much better understanding of the causes of a sexless marriage and what to do about it.
