1. I Love My Husband But I Don’t
Want Sex Anymore
Can My Marriage be Saved?
2. • “I adore my husband, but I don’t want to have
sex with him. We used to have sex all the time. I
was passionately attracted to him, but now the
thought being intimate repels me. It is very
stressful to be with him especially alone and at
night because he always makes advances on
me. I hate having to hurt him every time he
wants me.
I think it started when I was pregnant with our
first child. I gradually lost interest in sex, but I
hoped it will come back to me after having our
baby…
3. But it didn’t. Years went by and though I think our
relationship is fine, I find myself running away from his
attempts every time. Deep down inside I am afraid that
my attraction to him is lost forever. I am always
concerned that he will cheat on me because of this and
the concept of leaving scares me to death. We have a
good relationship, until he wants sex.
Is it worth it for me to give up everything that I have with my
husband and maybe could have because of one (very
important) thing? How can I save my marriage?”
4. Can a Marriage Survive Without
Sex?
• You already know that
sex is one of the most
important things in
marriage. If it’s been a
long time since you
(reluctantly) had sex with
your husband, you
probably forgot why; The
intimacy that you share
afterwards, the hugs and
kisses, the lifted mood
and jokes, the closeness
and bonding that sex
brings to a relationship.
5. • And whether you like it or not (don’t shoot the
messenger) – Men can’t go on for long without
sex. Even if they can technique relieve their built
up physical need by themselves, it’s not enough
and it doesn’t replace a “real sexual intercourse”
– With someone else. They will end up looking
for it else where – It’s just a matter of time.
• So Yes – Not having sex with your husband
is a major divorce booster.
6. Do You Know The REAL Reason
For Your Low Sex Drive?
• It’s one thing if you secretly
despise your husband. In this
case it’s clear why you don’t
want to be sexually intimate with
him. But it’s another thing if your
marriage is doing o.k. (I won’t
say “great” or “amazing ’cause I
haven’t heard about many
amazing marriages) and you still
consider sex as another chore
you have to do – After the
dishes, before the cooking.
Sure, low sex drive can be a
result of many things:
Menopause, libido reducing
medication, pain during
intercourse, decreased libido
due to age, but…
7. • The most common reason for losing interest
in sex with him is a troubled relationship.
Even if you think that everything is o.k., you
have ups and downs like every one else – You
probably sweeping some stuff under the rug. Or
you don’t want to admit to yourself that
something is really wrong, or missing.
Sometimes you just don’t have the energy to
deal with it. And you hope the problem will
solve itself.
8. But I Can Assure You – This
Problem Won’t Solve Itself
• • Maybe he hasn’t been an equal partner in raising
your children. Maybe this disappoints you day after
day.
• Maybe you feel he is selfish, and doesn’t much care
about your needs.
• Maybe you feel that sometimes he doesn’t “see you”.
• Maybe he cheated. Or has otherwise deeply hurt you
in the past. You think you forgave him, but you didn’t.
• Maybe he was unfaithful or almost unfaithful and you
can’t put it behind you.
• Maybe you are tired and exhausted and he doesn’t
help as much as you think he can.
9. • These feelings are all signs
of a troubled marriage. It’s
true that millions of women
feel the way you do, but on
you the affect is a non
existent sex drive. It has
made you emotionally and
thereby sexually detached
from him.
It’s normal; it’s the way
women are built. Men can
feel the same kind of
frustration and still want to
have sex every day. They are
different.
10. How Can you Prevent Him From
Cheating and How to Save Your
Marriage? no running away
• There’s
from it, you need professional
help. You can’t wait a minute
longer if you want to salvage
your relationship. You will
motivate your husband to
stay faithful and committed
just by taking the first step
and showing him that it is
important to you as is it to
him. That you haven’t given
up on your love and your
marriage, that you want to
solve this.
11. These are your options:
• 1. Sex therapy – This is supposed to be an
obvious option, but I don’t know how helpful a
sex therapist is – for solving underlying marriage
problems.
• 2. Marriage counseling – Look for a local
marriage counselor that is highly recommended
by other people. The disadvantage is the high
cost and lack pf privacy. If you don’t want your
local community to know about this – Maybe it’s
not a good idea.
12. 3. Online Marriage
counseling – A better
choice if you are on a
tight budget and don’t
one anyone to know.
Online marriage
counselors are just as
professional and
experienced, and online
counseling has a few
great benefits that you
haven’t considered – You
can find out about them –

13. • 4. Marriage Saving Programs – This is counseling
without counseling. I recommend the Marriage Sherpa
program, just because I personally used it with great
success in my marriage. It’s a complete step by step
system to saving your marriage, created by Dr. Frank
Gunzburg, a well known family therapist with 30 years of
experience in marriage counseling. The program
delivers over 200 pages of practical tools, steps and
methods that work, and also a companion workbook
to help you understand what the real problems are,
where they come from and how to fix them.
• It costs less than one session with a counselor and I
think the 50% discount is still on – Right Here.
