1.Feelings of inadequacy.
We’re bombarded by airbrushed images of physical “perfection” and they can lead to unrealistic expectations and feelings of inadequacy. If you’ve fallen victim to this, talk about it with your spouse. Build each others’ confidence. We’ve found that MOST women have some insecurities related to their appearance which hinders their sex life AND most men have insecurities related to their performance. In short, women need to hear, “You’re so beautiful” and men need to often hear “You’re the man!”
2. Hormonal imbalance.
Sometimes, a lack of sex drive or satisfaction can be attribute to an imbalance of your hormones. If you think this might be an issue for you, ask your doctor. There are some very effective treatment options that will not only help with sex, but will often also help you feel much better overall.
3. Lack of communication.
I’m amazed at how many couples simply don’t talk about the sexual aspect of their marriage. Talk about it. Share your fears, your fantasies and your frustrations. Better communication OUTSIDE of the bedroom will create better intimacy inside the bedroom.
#4 is one of the biggest issues that harms a couples sex life and every other part of the marriage too…
