Description:

Bring the spark back into your bedroom and your relationship with gutsy and effective advice from bestselling author Michele Weiner Davis.


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. In The Sex-Starved Marriage, bestselling author Michele Weiner Davis will help you understand why being complacent or bitter about ho-hum sex might cost you your relationship.

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 addresses every aspect of the sexual libido problem:

  • 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, learn new ways to motivate your spouse to take your needs for more physical closeness to heart.
  • If you're the spouse with a lagging libido, you're far from alone. You'll learn about the physiological and psychological factors, including unresolved relationship issues, that may contribute to the chill in your bedroom and what you can do to melt the ice. 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!

    The Sex-Starved Marriage will give you and your spouse the inspiration, encouragement, and answers you need.

    5Terrific  Oct 23, 2009
    The Sex Starved Marriage is incredibly enlightning. It provides the key to the lock of so many sexual/relationship problems that couples have. The book is frank and serious as well as thoughtful and kind and one feels that it is addressed directly to the heart of the matters that cause real suffering to the ones we really love, our mates. It applys to the non sex-starved marriages as much as the starved ones too! WELL DONE!

    5Help for couples lacking sexual energy  Jan 10, 2009
    As a clinical psychologist and sex therapist since 1976, I have read almost every book and most chapters written about sexual desire problems. This book is different because it is written to and for couples, although therapists will gain valuable insight. The author addresses/confronts each (composite) partner separately, giving perspectives for change that can help him or her adopt new ideas about becoming the person and partner he or she wants to be. This is done without pathologizing either the more "highly sexed" partner or the one with the "lagging libido." Couples open to learning how they participate in maintaining a problem can do so without feeling shamed or blamed. They can learn how to claim their own enduring part and learn how to understand their partner's. Problems and solutions are described that will be familiar to anybody who has ever been in a relationship, and certainly every couples' therapist. The subtitle, "Boosting your marriage libido," is definitely not a quick fix, but an opportunity for individuals to actively change their own unhappiness in relationship, with a partner. I have recommended this book to couples, relatives and friends who ask, with excellent feedback.

    5Best therapeutic book ever read  Nov 04, 2008
    Being trained as a therapist this information was never taught so clearly. This book should be required reading for every therapist in training and couple getting married. It would save many marriages caught in the downward spiral of "my spouse doesn't love me anymore". I have read hundreds of therapeutic and self-help books and this is the only book I would recommend for a marriage in trouble or one wanting to prevent trouble.

    5Great and practical advice!  Oct 01, 2008
    This book really is all it says it is. The author hits it on the head and really captures what I've been thinking all these years I've been struggling with this issue. I have been to a few therapists over the years and gave up because I thought I was alone in my problem, so I am releived to find out I'm not alone and not crazy, either! The advice in this book is not only for sex, either, it works for regular relationship issues, too. Highly recommended.

    4Big help to my marriage  Jun 04, 2008
    This book can be a little redundant at times but still delivers great information. There are so many examples of things that are probably happening in your relationship right now (if you've been married as long as I have) that you'll find yourself saying, "That's me"! My wife and I are very different from each other regarding physical needs and this book helped open our eyes to the negative issues preventing intimacy. Nobody's perfect and there's still lots of work to do but at least this book got the dialog going in a positive direction.
