My wife (LL) and I are both 61(HL) and have been married 37 years. We are both in good shape, look younger than we are, and most people would say we are attractive. I am very attracted to my wife and we have always had a pretty active sex life, averaging 2 - 3 times a week. Over the last few months our sex life has started to reduce to maybe once a week due to her lack of interest. Lately, I have noticed I get some push back when I touch her as she immediately thinks all I want is sex. This has created arguments, hurt feelings, and routine periods of "silent treatment". I realize many of the stories here discuss going without sex for years, but everything is relative and my concern is letting our issues continue to slide without taking some action. While theraphy would be an option, knowing my wife might have some reluctance, I was hoping to explore some other resources such as "marriage courses", workbooks, or good helpful self-help books to read together that might have some exercises for us to better communicate each others feelings. We are clearly misreading each other at times, but struggle to get on the same page.
No, we are not currently going month's/years without sex, but could be headed that way if some action is not taken sooner vs. later. Does anyone have any specific suggestions (i.e. books, online programs, other) here that have worked for you or people you know?
