<p>Some experts estimate that ~15% of marriages are sexless, while others put the number as high as 33% (&#34;sexless relationship&#34; defined as a couple having sex 10 times a year or fewer).</p><p>That&#39;s a <em>lot</em> of people.</p><p>Now let&#39;s talk about the stakes:</p><p>Does a sexless marriage generally mean a less fulfilling one? In a word, yes. According to researcher and associate professor Denis Donnelly in the New York Times, <strong>&#34;Happy couples have more sex, and the more sex a couple has, the happier they report being.&#34; </strong></p><p>Plus, her research showed that folks in sexless marriages were more likely to have considered divorce than those in sexually active ones.</p><p>So what do you do if you&#39;re in this position? How do you handle being in a sexless relationship or sexless marriage? Can you bring the sex back in -- repolarize the relationship? </p><p>Here, we work on answering questions like: &#34;How do I bring up sex with my wife?&#34; -- in Jason&#39;s words, “A lot of guys don’t know where to start because they don’t know where it’s coming from.”</p><p>And, &#34;What do I do if my wife doesn&#39;t want to have sex with me?&#34; -- or how to handle the sense that when she does, it&#39;s more of her feeling like &#34;this is a thing I have to do for you to get you off my back.&#34;</p><p>It&#39;s a tender, vulnerable, and important subject. Let&#39;s dive in.</p><p>---</p><h2>Work with us</h2><p>Ready to go deeper than the podcast and take action? Jason and I can help you break old patterns and transform your sex & love life for good.
