The idea that sex creates greater intimacy sometimes gets lost in our society which seems to have decided that the the only way it “should” work is the other way… by intimacy encouraging sex. As a result so many times couples get stuck in a complicated tangle of “working out issues,” or “workimg on their communication” and that can take years. Sometimes it helps. Sometimes it doesn’t. Maybe we should be more open to seeig if there is a behavioral answer or a physiological answer that can be addressed more easily and effectively . When you get the cycle moving in a positive direction, that is when you help a couple move back into the bedroom, often that can begin to heal a marriage and put it back on track. Often what follows can be more intimacy, better communication.
