Sexless marriage help can be found for those couples who want to regain the intimacy they have lost. A sexless marriage is often defined as a marriage where the couple has sex 10 or less times per year. A marriage without intimacy on a regular basis may be a sign of other issues in the marriage.  Solving the problems of a sexless marriage means taking an honest look at the relationship and being willing to work on those issues.

  1. Resolving money issues. Money can be one of the most contentious problems in a marriage. When a spouse has been laid off, unusual expenses come up, or spending philosophies differ then money problems can create anger and a feeling of disconnectedness. Addressing money issues with an attitude of problem solving rather than fault finding may lead to less tension in a marriage and more intimacy.
  2. Finding time as a couple. When a couple starts having kids then they may find that the time they have for each other vanishes. The family can become the main focus and the marriage relationship can suffer. Couples who make an effort to spend time alone and focus on each other may find that their sex life improves as well.
  3. Counseling. Sex issues can cause a sexless marriage. When one spouse pressures another for sex or has a sexual problem such as impotence or sexual addiction then the result can be a sexless marriage. Since sex is a difficult subject to talk about many couples simply avoid the subject altogether. Couples with sexual issues may benefit from the help of a doctor or therapist to identify the issues and work on solutions that will improve the marriage.
