When Your Sex Drive is Higher than Your Husband’s
Physical intimacy can be such a complicated issue in marriage. Usually, we hear the husband has the higher sex drive, but what’s becoming more and more common today is hearing how the wife has the higher drive. This is what one woman is dealing with in her marriage. Here’s her story…
Dear Jolene
I am always looking for ways to strengthen physical intimacy with my husband but nothing seems to be working. I often find posts on how to desire your husband, how to desire sex, but not the other way around. I feel like I am the only woman to be married to a man who does not want sex as much as I do. We have been married for a year and a half and our entire marriage we have fought about sex. All of my married friends talk to me about how frustrating it is to have a husband that wants sex all the time, and it’s frustrating to me that they aren’t grateful for a husband that actually desires them! My husband does not look at porn (that I know of), he doesn’t work long hours, he doesn’t have an exhausting job, I’m not over-weight, I just don’t understand why he doesn’t want me. I feel completely unloved.
