Sexless Marriage and How Couples Therapy Helps
“Sexless marriage” and “dead bedroom” are two of the most searched phrases when it comes to marriage counseling and couples therapy. If you and your partner are struggling to make sex a consistent part of your relationship, you’re not alone. There is no “one” definition of what a normal sex life should look like. Every couple’s sexual relationship has its own uniqueness, strengths, and challenges. The real problem is we’re often hesitant to talk about it with each other, and when we do, we only focus on the problems.
This can be because of trauma, expectations, self-doubt, certain medications, resentment—any number of factors can contribute to couples withdrawing from each other sexually. It may be both partners that are distanced, or may be only one. We often find that couples need a solid foundation of trust and emotional safety to even begin talking about the deeper layers of their distance. That’s why we’re here to help.
