It is estimated that one of every three married couples struggles with problems associated with mismatched sexual desire. Do you? If you want to stop fighting about sex and revitalize your intimate connection with your spouse, then you need this book. But "The Sex-Starved Marriage" is not just another book explaining the reasons you or your spouse might not be in the mood for sex. Bestselling author Michele Weiner Davis will help you understand why being complacent or bitter about ho-hum sex might cost you your marriage, and with her acclaimed psychobabble-free, straight-shooting advice, she'll show you how to bring the spark back into your bedroom and into your relationship. Because relationship expert Weiner Davis is convinced that feeling sexy is a two-person job, she looks at the problem of -- and the solution to -- low sexual desire from a couple's perspective. Whether you're someone whose passion has faded or someone who's been hungering for touch, you'll learn life-altering lessons about bridging the desire gap and restoring intimacy and friendship to your marriage. And because Weiner Davis knows that one spouse is often more motivated than the other to work on a relationship, she offers creative ways to inspire your partner to change. Separate chapters address the spouse who's hot, the one who's not, and then both together. If you're the spouse with a lagging libido, you're far from alone. And if you're a man, you'll be surprised to learn that staggering numbers of men, even men whose sexual machinery works just fine, "get headaches" too! If you're the low-desire spouse, you'll learn about the physiological and psychological factors, including unresolved relationshipissues, that may contribute to the chill in your bedroom. You'll learn the truth about sexual desire: that for millions of men or women it doesn't just happen; you have to "make" it happen. Finally, you'll find specific, pragmatic, and often provocative solutions to help you discover the siren or seducer within. If you're the more highly sexed partner, you'll breathe a sigh of relief. At last someone understands your feelings about the void in your marriage. Discover why your pleas for touch have fallen upon deaf ears and why your approach to the lull in your sexual relationship could be a sexual turnoff. Most important, you'll find tools you can use to reach out in ways that will make your spouse more responsive. Finally, if your partner is willing, you will learn how to keep the flame of desire burning "together." Full of moving firsthand accounts from couples who have struggled with the erosion of sexual desire and rebuilt their passionate connection, "The Sex-Starved Marriage" will give you and your spouse the inspiration, encouragement, and answers you need to find your way out of a sex-starved marriage.

Best therapeutic book ever read

Being trained as a therapist this information was never taught so clearly. This book should be required reading for every therapist in training and couple getting married. It would save many marriages caught in the downward spiral of "my spouse doesn't love me anymore". I have read hundreds of therapeutic and self-help books and this is the only book I would recommend for a marriage in trouble or one wanting to prevent trouble.

Great and practical advice!

This book really is all it says it is. The author hits it on the head and really captures what I've been thinking all these years I've been struggling with this issue. I have been to a few therapists over the years and gave up because I thought I was alone in my problem, so I am releived to find out I'm not alone and not crazy, either! The advice in this book is not only for sex, either, it works for regular relationship issues, too. Highly recommended.

Sex and marriage

This book really gave me a boost. It also helped me see that I don't always handle this situation the best way. I am going to re-read it and ask my husband to read it too. It really is a guide for couples, just like the title suggests.
I also recommend my favorite book I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't

Big help to my marriage

This book can be a little redundant at times but still delivers great information. There are so many examples of things that are probably happening in your relationship right now (if you've been married as long as I have) that you'll find yourself saying, "That's me"! My wife and I are very different from each other regarding physical needs and this book helped open our eyes to the negative issues preventing intimacy. Nobody's perfect and there's still lots of work to do but at least this book got the dialog going in a positive direction.

STARVED FOR USABLE SEX INFORMATION

This writer takes a practical view toward sex in marriage. It is ridiculous to expect people who have been married to experience fireworks everytime they make love. It is not only ridiculous, but unrealistic. That's why I appreciated the information in this book. Sex (or desire) is, like love, a choice that we make. If we choose to make love to our husband or wife, the desire will follow. What a marvelous concept! Finally, some usuable information about marital sex. If you want to become even more intimate with your spouse, I would also recommend Was that an earthquake? The Sensuous Couple's (Flip Over) Guide to Seismic Oral Sex. It will make a huge difference in your marital sexual satisfaction.
