Ranked #5,913 in Education, #133,299 overall
According to surveys, about 15 - 20% of married couples in the United States live in what is defined as a sexless marriage meaning that they have sex 10 times or less each year. The problem is that often only one spouse no longer wants to have sex while the other one still craves it.
For the partner who still longs for intimacy this is an unbearable situation which involves feelings of rejection, frustration, and confusion. If you live in a sexless relationship, I feel for you. I know how hard it can be.

If your sexless marriage isn't caused by some physical problem, then something in your relationship has deteriorated to the point where the intimacy is gone. This can happen for a number of reasons:
1. Stress - Either at work or around the house. Stress is a mood killer. It is up to you to help your spouse be as relaxed as possible when you're together.
2. An affair - I guess this option may have crossed your mind so I'll say that even though this is a possible cause, it isn't that likely. Affairs don't always cause sexless marriages. However, if you feel like you have to find out for sure, look for telltale signs.

3. A past fight - Often, a fight or an argument between the two of you is enough to spart a withdrawl of your spouse in an attempt to punish you. If that is the case, you have to resolve the issue that caused the fight and help the bad emotions dissipate.
4. A boring routine - A most likely cause. Many married couples fail to preserve the passion that once existed between them when they dated. To renew the passion you need to get back into "dating mode". Do more exciting things together, have a date night with just the two of you, do romantic things. All of this can help reignite the old flames and help you to bring back the passion.
Above all, don't lose hope. You can cure your sexless marriage. It is up to you.

- The advice here is admirable, but the one thing people are not accounting for is the difference in men and women as sexual beings. Men are totally and almost constantly consumed with the thought of sex, when we last had it, how good it was, and when we can have it next. Women, in general, see sex as a chore, or something burdensome. Obviously not all men or women feel the way I stated, but for the most part women, especially after children or in a marriage, don't see the need for, nor do they desire sex at all. As a man this is a hugh shot to you emotionally. Personally I would love for my wife to "want" me. We have talked about this at lenght, though I do not pressure her. I consider myself a good husband and father, and I do my share and then some of houswork and childcare. But the fact remains that my wife just isn't interested in sex. So all the good advice and tips here aside, as a man you have two choices. Resort to "loving" yourself ALOT, or stray from your marriage. I would never cheat on my wife so I resort to one on one time with myself and the once every three month quikie that I have to initiate.
