"Only
someone with Michele Weiner Davis's expertise could write about
the sexual drama that goes on behind the bedroom door with this
much power. She's got the facts straight about what it takes to
breathe life back into a relationship . . . her strength and
inspiration come through loud and clear on the pages."
--Pat Love, from the Foreword
It is estimated that one of every
three married couples struggles with problems associated with
mismatched sexual desire. Do you? If you want to stop fighting
about sex and revitalize your intimate connection with your
spouse, then you need this book.
But The Sex-Starved Marriage
is not just another book explaining the reasons you or your
spouse might not be in the mood for sex.
Best-selling author Michele Weiner
Davis will help you understand why being complacent or bitter
about ho-hum sex might cost you your marriage, and with her
acclaimed psychobabble-free, straight-shooting advice, she'll
show you how to bring the spark back into your bedroom and into
your relationship.
Because relationship expert Weiner
Davis is convinced that feeling sexy is a two-person job, she
looks at the problem of -- and the solution to -- low sexual
desire from a couple's perspective.
Whether you're someone whose passion
has faded or someone who's been hungering for touch, you'll
learn life-altering lessons about bridging the desire gap and
restoring intimacy and friendship to your marriage. And because
Weiner Davis knows that one spouse is often more motivated than
the other to work on a relationship, she offers creative ways to
inspire your partner to change.
Separate chapters address the spouse
who's hot, the one who's not, and then both together. If you're
the spouse with a lagging libido, you're far from alone. And if
you're a man, you'll be surprised to learn that staggering
numbers of men, even men whose sexual machinery works just fine,
'get headaches' too!
If you're the low-desire spouse,
you'll learn about the physiological and psychological factors,
including unresolved relationship issues, that may contribute to
the chill in your bedroom.
You'll learn the truth about sexual
desire: that for millions of men or women it doesn't just
happen; you have to make it happen. Finally, you'll find
specific, pragmatic, and often provocative solutions to help you
discover the siren or seducer within.
If you're the more highly sexed
partner, you'll breathe a sigh of relief. At last someone
understands your feelings about the void in your marriage.
Discover why your pleas for touch have fallen upon deaf ears and
why your approach to the lull in your sexual relationship could
be a sexual turnoff.
Most important, you'll find tools
you can use to reach out in ways that will make your spouse more
responsive. Finally, if your partner is willing, you will learn
how to keep the flame of desire burning together.
Full of moving firsthand accounts
from couples who have struggled with the erosion of sexual
desire and rebuilt their passionate connection, The
Sex-Starved Marriage will give you and your spouse the
inspiration, encouragement, and answers you need to find your
way out of a sex-starved marriage.
