Is your marriage losing intimacy?






Probably the cause currently you are skimming through this place is that you have problems with your marriage. The holy wedlock may have a lot of problems and most of those quarrels them can cause the end the marriage and result in a divorce. But, you hate the idea.I was married for six years and I thought it was normal in a relationship over time for that “magic” to diminish, so when my husband said he didn’t want to go out for dinner, or he seemed more interested in the TV than me; I said to myself: “Well, that’s it. You’re gonna have to get used to it, that’s how all marriages are.” How wrong!!

But even though I thought that way, his lack of interest in me (and maybe mine in him) was growing and this was causing a lot of quarrels between us. Those quarrels, in turn, made everything worse. Only a couple of months later, we were in the midst of what is called a marriage crisis – we were quarreling all the time and we had barely any sex life at all. Yes – maybe my interest in him had waned a bit, but I still loved him and didn’t want this marriage to end!He didn’t say anything explicitly but we were barely talking to each other anyway. There was no question our marriage was ending – so I prayed every night, and secretly cried every night. I was sleeping alone – he wasn’t even sleeping with me any more.And then it happened – he said “we need to talk”. I knew what he was going to say already. The world went under from my feet, I remember crying for hours. But no, I wouldn’t resign!

I looked for marriage counseling, but they are for couples who wanted to repair their troubled marriages, and my husband certainly didn’t want to do that.So I went to Google and searched for guides of “saving your marriage”. Unfortunately, there weren’t a lot of guides designed for marriages. They were all tailored towards “pull your ex back” thing. They were for boyfriends/girlfriends, not for actual spouses. But they said they would work for marriages, too. So I got one of those books, but from the first page it was evident that this was not the book for married couples.I searched some more, and I came to Amy Waterman’s “Save Your Marriage” site. Waterman is, as I researched later, a well known author for relationship books. This was a book especially for advice for troubled marriages. I was desperate and I decided to give this a try, too. Well, it turned out to be the best decision in my life.

When I first bought the book and was skimming through the pages, I was surprised, maybe even shocked, to see that Waterman was actually talking about MY marriage. I didn’t know marriages had so many things in common. It was like I had explained everything about my marriage to Waterman and she was now in turn answering with advice for troubled marriage.
