I over love. My husband under loves. And we have problems. Questions first then background. Question 1: I need my husband to show me love/desire. Is this something he can learn to do? How? I believe he wants to but nothing is natural. Rather he approaches it like a checklist item with reminders...

I suck at intimacy and it's ruining my marriage. Physical relationships have never been my strong suit.....most of my pre-marriage sexual encounters were alcohol fueled and plagued with ED & PE issues. I never felt confident about myself sexually. When I met my wife that didn't matter. She...

I'd like to share a marriage tip that has worked wonders over the years. It is very simple but it has been immensely helpful in maintaining the pleasurable intimacy that typically wanes in a marriage. It's a way to trigger sexual desire in a man whose mind might otherwise be more occupied with...

Let me start this by saying, I really appreciate all of the sharing everyone here does. I read through the posts and it gave me the strength to be completely honest here. I have been married to my wife for 10.5 years. We have 3 children together, and I have another older child from my 1st...

I am a new poster to this site and I see this in a lot of men's threads, and it's my worst nightmare to end up in a relationship where we don't have sex at least once a week. Since I am not and never have been married, I don't have to worry. However, I am curious about men's stories with this-...

Hello all, maybe you can give me some insight on this issue. I've been dealing with this on my own for a while. First, a little context: I'm a married dude. Wife and I have been together for 6 years, and married for 2 years. We have a powerful relationship, mutually supportive, lots of care...

My wife is the best thing thats ever happened to me. And we are getting a divorce. It's the single greatest pain I've ever gone through. You know how they say when a member of a long married couple passes away, the other often goes within 6 months? I completely understand why. I feel physically...

This is my first post, anywhere, so thank you in advance for your support. For the first time in a long time, i'm genuinely happy with myself and who I am. My self-confidence has returned, i'm very fit and healthy and at 33 years of age am excited about life, both present and future. But, I...

**A little background. We have been married for 6 years in a Christian home with 2 children. I have wanted her to "willfully" submit more and she has always wanted it to but struggled. So far there has been mutual respect with some struggles of submitting. From time to time, we would use...

Well, the good news is that my wife's pregnancy is as healthy as can be and we are both very happy for it. As we near the due date, whenever we meet friends the conversation turns more and more towards pregnancy, child birth and parenting. This is all well and good as everyone has a story to...

This is going to be long, so if you don't want to read it all here is the tl;dr - Married for less than 2.5 years and there's already almost no intimacy in my marriage. I was here over a year ago and things don't seem to be changing. Here's my post from last year: Less than 1.5 years and...

I am banging my head against the wall. Ten years. Ten YEARS. We have not had sex for over ten years. Affection dried up before that. We have talked about it. "It takes two" she always says. :iagree:Yes, that is true. However, when it has been so long, why bother to try to start...
