QUESTION: My husband and I have never had a problem with our sex life (we've
only been married for two years, so I guess we're still in the
honeymoon stage.) But in the last few months things have taken a
turn, and we're sort of stuck in a sex rut. He didn't get a promotion
he was planning on, and now he says he wants to wait before trying to
have a baby, and we just seem to be angry at each other lately. In
bed, it's like laying next to a stranger, and I've never felt more
alone. We probably need to see a therapist, but I don't think I could
get him to go, and money's tight now more than ever. Any advice?
ANSWER: Glad you asked. You're definitely not alone.
Our sex lives are a barometer of everything else that's happening
in our lives, and financial stress has a funny way of dampening
desire. As you progress out of the honeymoon period and some
of the excitement naturally starts to wane, it's important to
stay intimate, connected and bonded through all the ups and
downs of marriage. I've been offering advice and writing a column
on eDiets.com, and my latest feature addresses this
very issue: how to rev up a stalled sex-life.
