Publisher Comments:

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.

Synopsis:

Michele Weiner Davis, national bestselling author of Divorce Busting, offers couples comprehensive, results-oriented guidance for revitalizing their relationships and achieving lasting sexual rapport and satisfaction. One in every three married couples in the United States struggles with problems associated with mismatched sexual desire. The Sex-Starved Marriage is not another book that merely explains why one spouse may not be in the mood for sex. Bestelling author and renowned relationship expert Michele Weiner Davis understands that a satisfying sex life is crucial; she understands that complacency and bitterness about ho-hum sex are more than enough to undo any marriage. With her acclaimed psychobabble-free, straight-shooting advice, Weiner Davis shows how to bring the spark back into the bedroom and into the relationship. Convinced that feeling sexy is a two-person job, Weiner Davis approaches the problem of--and solutions to--mismatched desire from a couple's perspective. Whether passion has faded or one partner hungers for more touch, the book offers life-altering lessons and proven solutions for bridging the desire gap and restoring excitement and friendship in any marriage. Full of moving firsthand accounts from couples who've been there and back, The Sex-Starved Marriage provides the inspiration, encouragement, and answers necessary to find a way out of an intimacy-starved relationship.
