[quote]To the degree that a woman feels her libido is lacking, Team Psyche says it could be due to stress, anxiety, a history of trauma, poor body image, relationship problems, or just plain old monogamy—[b]research shows that for women, each month of monogamous commitment is associated with a slight but steady decrease in desire. In contrast, for men, it holds more steady.[/b] [/quote]

So, at some inevitable point, she will want sex less than he does, and perhaps even not at all. The best-case situation is that she has sex anyway because she loves him and wants to keep the marriage going. The worst-case situation is dead bedroom and eventually divorce.

Someone please tell me that this is wrong, and you've managed to keep the desire level strong for decades...[/quote]

I'm very encouraged to hear this. Our society [b]makes it sound as if not wanting to have sex is a sign of major trouble in a marriage.[/b] I honestly have zero desire to have sex with my husband anymore, but continue to do so for him. It seems so few women are willing to admit this and feel that something is seriously wrong if they no longer desire sex. [/quote]

It is. " few women are willing to admit" of course if you are not having sex (assuming it is not a situation where both do not want sex) you are roommate, moved form a soecial place of a wife to an annoying liability. [/quote]
