[quote=Anonymous][quote=Shineshelly]Hi there,

Every marriage will endure some dry spells. It is great that you have been trying to work on communicating on a deeper level etc. Growing in empathy and seeking to meet each other's needs is absolutely crucial in preventing a marital collapse at some point. I'm not sure if you've already shared your feelings with him but I think sharing your vulnerability by communicating in a respectful way that your sexual relationship is disappointing to you could prove to benefit your communication and relationship.

I really believe a couple can build a satisfying sexual relationship, getting to know each other so well, growing in such intimacy, that the thought of an affair holds little appeal. Satisfying sex isn't just about you and your spouse. It is about affair-proofing your relationship and bringing honor to the commitment you made to one another to forsake all others and hang in there during rough or "passionless" patches.

I have been married 7 years, without children, and I do not see my commitment to my husband during trials as any less significant than those with children. The commitment I made to him has become more about what I pledged before God than it is my husband. That perspective has helped me through tough times and I hope it helps you too.

Marriage is worth fighting for! Hang in there and consider marriage counseling before giving up!![/quote]

You cannot understand the number that having kids on a lot of married couples. Doesn't happen to everybody, but for most of my friends and me, having kids killed the part of the relationship that we had with our spouse that was all about the two people.  Ever hear the saying "three's a crowd"? And throw a second kid in there and it is like, what has happened? [/quote]
