Marriage in Trouble? 3 Warning Signs You Can Spot In The Bedroom
Sex and intimacy feel like an obligation.
If your partner agrees to engage in physical intimacy but acts uninterested during sex, you may have a problem, Shannan said. “A non-responsive husband or wife who won’t return love is not in a good place. You can feel it, and so can they,” he said.
Shannan explained that while these individuals may think they’re “doing their marital duty,” this kind of behavior can put a relationship on the chopping block if it isn’t addressed.
What to do if you’re unsatisfied in the bedroom:
The underlying reason why one partner may be unenthusiastic in bed can span from emotional scars that haven’t yet healed or even medical conditions that lead to sexual dysfunction. However, he noted, “Most commonly there are other relationship issues that lead to a loss of sexual desire.”
The fix for any of these three issues? Talk it out. “Communication is often at the center of the problem with any number of peripheral issues that aren’t being resolved,” he said.
After having that conversation, consider trying to reignite that spark by doing the kinds of things you and your partner did when you began dating — whether it’s going to that local pizza joint for dinner, staying in for popcorn and a movie, or going to a baseball game, or the like.
If those approaches don’t work, you may want to consider counseling, Shannan said.
“There’s often something that can be navigated through to get you past the issues and back to the kind of relationship that you were originally designed to experience,” he said.
