Poor sex can be an indicator that the actual marriage is in trouble. Many times the 'sexual problem' has nothing to do with sex, and everything to do with the underlying dynamics between you and your partner. Sex is simply the identifiable problem. Thus, if this is the case, then you may benefit from meeting with a sex therapist to do regular marriage counseling. All sex therapists are well trained in marriage counseling. By addressing the underlying issues, many people will then begin to desire sex again.
