Learn how to have better sex in your marriage

Sex is an important part of marriage, but also one of the first areas that goes to the waste side when a couple is having problems. 

Maintaining a healthy sex life is one way that a couple can stay connected to one another.

Many times when the relationship gets tough from added stresses in life, it can affect the couple’s sex life.  The solution is to make sex a priority, taking the time to work on the sexual intimacy in the relationship will help strengthen the bond between husband and wife.

As a sex therapist I work with my clients to help them better communicate and be more comfortable talking about sex with one another.  Communication is the key to working on the sex in the marriage, talking to one another about sex rather then keeping it in and getting frustrated.

 It is not uncommon for couples that have been married for awhile to still feel embarrassed talking about sex.  What happens is that they just over time expect their partner to know how to please them, but bodies change over time, along with sex drive, age and life changes.  What may have been a sexual turn on in the beginning of the marriage is no longer a turn on.  The couple does not want to express this to their partner, for fear of hurting their feeling or thinking that there is something wrong with them.

Sexual intimacy is a deeper connection to your partner, learning to be open, loving and free from constraints will help the love grow and keep the sex hot, who doesn’t want to have great sex in their life.

Sex Coaching book review by Dawn Michael

This week I am reviewing a book by Dr. Patti Britton called The Art of Sex Coaching, expanding your practice.

If you have ever wanted to know about what sex coaching is this book has all of the answers. This is a wonderful educational book for the person who wants to get into the field of sex coaching but also for the layperson who is just looking for answers to better sex. This book does an excellent job explaining the art of sex coaching and how it differs from regular therapy and why it may work for you.

The section of the book for couples and their common sexual concerns and resolutions was very informative and gave a detailed description of eight common couples concerns, with explanations and true stories.

The list of couples most common concerns:
1. Little or no sex in the relationship
2. Aversion to touch or misplaced touch communication
3. Conflict's about desire uneven desire
4. Conducting values about monogamy/affairs
5. Performance skills deficit
6. Body image issues
7. Communication style conflicts
8. Negotiation skills deficit

For any couple that is struggling with their sex life this is a must read and of course for any clinician wanting to use this book as part of their practice it makes for a necessary addition to their library.
