[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a DW, married for a long time. DH and I have a very good sex-life but we have been through periods of sexual famine that sometime lasted for months/years.  Most of it was during pregnancy, postpartum, nursing and when the kids were little.  My DH's libido has remained more or less constant, it was me that was going through variability in my libido, especially when I was in my 30s.

A lot of this was hormonal and other physical/psychological changes I was going through.  I recommend making communication, medical  checkups and couple's therapy a priority.  Sex is not everything in a marriage, but it is a bonding mechanism for a strong marriage that enables you to weather the storms of life better. Eventually, a strong marriage and sexual bond between parents help the children as well.

Well, this was a reasonable observation and recommendation. What are you doing around this thread? Reasonableness isn't exactly favored around here. [/quote]

Different PP here.  But in her situation, she does say that the famine periods were around pregnancy, postpartum, and nursing.  Those are periods when there are huge hormonal changes happening, so I would actually call that a medical/health related issue.

That is the key.  If OP's wife just had a baby, then I think everyone would be like, well, yeah.  But there are so many of these sexless marriage threads where the kids are school age or nearly school age.  So I'm not sure that is the same situation was what PP is suggesting.
