I have been thinking this weekend about my sex life,and what I would like, and if it is possible in my marriage.

I think what I miss is the lust we once had for each other, it is gone, at least on her side. I know I still crave my W as much as always, but their is no passion or lust, and once I thought about it, it has been gone for a long time.

Is there a way to get this back, or is it a biproduct of marriage?

i know for me i am "feeling" it when he is meeting my needs. this is something he had never understood and still, i think, has trouble with. most women i know are this way, when we feel cherished and taken care of and safe it flows from us in a sexual way. if we arent....it just isnt there. also if he helps me out around here doing the things that always need to get done....that is always points for him too!

what we do in life......echoes in eternity!

here is a good article to look at. There is one I am looking for specifically and can't find it, but this one describes things well also.
