Replies to 'Reigniting Romance in Your Relationship'

Find out what is going on.  You need him to open up.  Maybe he is stressed?  Maybe unhappy about something?  Read my reply about communicating a few replies ago.  Learn how to communicate and learn "how to fight".  Getting things in front of both of you and dealing with them is the best form of passion.  Plan some alone time.  Use the one response about the candles, roses, bedroom set up mentioned before.  But, as you can see by her response as well, talking about each other's needs and issues, understanding the issues, dealing with them by comprise, and then getting over it and moving on are the keys to great love and sex.  You are both missing the emotional love more than the physical.  Try something new and exciting.  Dress up, role play, change atmospheres, get a hotel room, if one of you is interested, things will work out. 

Try to stroke his intellect.  Men need ego boosts.  Our ego is very easily hurt.  Hold his hand in public out of the blue.  Give him a kiss for no reason.  Compliment him.  Tell him how thankful you are for what he provides you and the family.  Men that feel like they are real men, worry about everything (money, whether the family is happy, whether they are doing a good job at work)  You will be surprised that he will start returning compliments as well.  That makes you closer and lends to a more passionate relationship and therefore, more sex.  Hope this helps.

May I ask how long you have been married, and has this been a gradual decline? Or did it change overnight?

no way!!!! That must make you feel like s***!!!! I told the famous G he couldn't keep up with me and he said no I wouldn't be able to keep up with him. I thought I was so fly hehe I sooooo wasn't! I could barely keep up. He told me mens magazine says it unfair and cruel not to have sex alot. Whatever!  I was tired! Imagine that :)

I have the same problem. My husband can go three months without wanting to have relations with me. I do not understand it. He tells me I am sexy, I think I am sexy too. We used to have nights where we would lay in bed naked for hours and snuggle, kiss, and talk. Now he stays in the tv room until late at night after I have fallen asleep. I work full time and go to college full time and I am a full time mother and wife as well. After doing all of my chores and duties for the day, I might get 5-6 hours of sleep, but I would still like to at least have that romantic connection with my husband, whether it be laying in bed curled up next to each other or playing games. I am an affectionate person in the day and I carry that over into our bedroom. I have gained about 10 lbs after our son was born almost 6 years ago and my husband has gained 100 lbs. I tell him and show him how very attractive he is to me and how much I think about him and how lucky I am to have him. I know he feels depressed about his weight and i try to get him to get out and do things, but he stays so tired all of the time. He is now suffering from EDS and he has a prescription to help, but he won't take it. I am frustrated because I married him because I thought we would have the same sexual connection and appetite for sex. I will never cheat on him or divorce him because he is such a good man and cheating is against everything I stand for. I am just getting very frustrated and then I get depressed, but I keep the happy face on so he will not know how it hurts me to see him that way. Not really sure what I can do, it seems I have tried everything.
