| The Sex-Starved Marriage: Boosting Your Marriage Libido: A Couple's Guide by Simon & Schuster Reading |
| Excellent book. This book hit my relationship dead-on!!! I just hope my husband really takes the time to read it....yeah right! lol. Either way, quick delivery, excellent service, oustanding book. Thanks a bunch! |
| The Sex-Starved Marriage: Boosting Your Marriage Libido: A Couple's Guide by Simon & Schuster You are not going crazy |
| Great book. She gives suggestions on how to improve your marriage and also lets you know that you are not alone. As a woman, it was reassuring to me to know that I am normal to want sex in my marriage. |
| The Sex-Starved Marriage: Boosting Your Marriage Libido: A Couple's Guide by Simon & Schuster Taught me to listen |
| My husband and I went to through a dry patch. He was stressed by our financial situations and kind of put our love life in the back seat. The stories taught me that the higher sexed individual just wanted to get things back to what it used to be but didn't really listen to the spouse. I figured that if I let my husband rest and show him how much I cared, he would come around and we'd be together. It took a while but it worked. Now we're great, relationships are stressful sometimes and just because you're a couple doesn't mean you're the same person. We feel and react to things differently. We should put ourselves in the other person's shoes and be understanding. |
| The Sex-Starved Marriage: Boosting Your Marriage Libido: A Couple's Guide by Simon & Schuster I am so grateful that I found this book |
| This is the best relationship book I have ever read. My wife and I have argued about sex for years. I read about this book in an article somewhere, then I found the author's website and read more about it. It sounded good so I went and bought it. I read it cover to cover in a few hours. I couldn't believe how the author nailed our situation completely. I have been wanting more sex than my wife and she has been totally insensitive to me and my needs. She also hasn't had a clue as to why sex is so important to me. I want to feel closer to her and I want her to want me. She's been clueless. I really wanted her to read this book but I was sure she wouldn't. This isn't a problem for her...it's my problem. But for some reason, she was willing to read this book, at least parts of it and she totally understood where I was coming from. Although I don't expect miracles, she has been a lot more receptive to being physical. It's pretty hard to believe this could happen from reading a book, but it has. I hope it lasts. But in the mean time, I am so grateful I found this book. I highly recommend it to any couple whose sex drives don't match. |
| The Sex-Starved Marriage: Boosting Your Marriage Libido: A Couple's Guide by Simon & Schuster almost perfect little read |
This is mostly a "Just do it" book. Its a quick read that flows well and gives you the information you need. The only thing it didn't get right for me was taking into consideration that some people have had a lot of sex before the start of a long term relationship... then it pitters out in the long haul. However the information given on how many people feel during the lack of desire times was great.
Focuses on both the low desire partner and the higher desire partner well. |
| The Sex-Starved Marriage: Boosting Your Marriage Libido: A Couple's Guide by Simon & Schuster Product 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. |

| In contrast to its tabloid title, The Sex-Starved Marriage offers candid and sensible counsel for couples with mismatched libidos. Seasoned sex therapist Michele Weiner-Davis skewers two stereotypes about sex in marriage. First, she jettisons the idea that husbands are hot and wives are not, giving examples of "low-desire" men in her practice. Next, she upends the longstanding model of sexual response and advises readers: "Just do it. Desire is a decision. Once the low-interest partner allows him/herself to be touched and aroused, this will trigger a strong desire to continue being sexual." The strength of her approach to the causes of sexual stalemate lies in her insights about the struggles of both partners. Her suggestions (how to break the ice, how to court your partner, nag busting, and the Hallmark solution) are not gimmicky and are presented as techniques for couples, not individuals. Weakened only by a final chapter--one that discloses too many details about the author’s marriage--this perceptive book will inspire couples to add heat and light to their marriage. --Barbara Mackoff |
