You have been married for quite some time and noticed that your sex life has been non existent for a while now, and your feelings tell you that your marriage could be in jeopardy. After some soul searching you could have come to the decision that it could be true and you might be heading for a divorce. If you put your mind to it, you can survive a sexless marriage as well  as putting the excitement back in to your most intimate moments.

When people talk about sexless marriages some of their perceptions  are completely wrong. Their seems to be a popular school of thought that men want sex more then women. It is not accurate, more women complain about the deficiency of sex in their marriage then men. It is a popular believe that sexless marriages only happen with older couples. This is certainly not correct. Problems in marriages including the lack of sex can occur at any age in any relationship. There is nothing unusual or strange about being in a marriage without sex even though you may be relatively young.

In order to survive a sexless marriage, you need to know some facts about it. If you are having sex once a month or three months, then you are not in a sexless marriage, in a sexless marriage you do not have any sex. You must now realize that there is a serious problem in your relationship. You can not compare a sexless marriage to a marriage with infrequent sex, they are completely dissimilar.

To think that you are the only person in a marriage without sex is absurd. In today's society there are a lot of couples in sexless marriages and the number is growing daily. The number of couples that can fix their problems and save their marriage is also growing, so don't despair.

For someone trying to survive a sexless marriage there is no better advice then for them not to be ashamed of their relationship. You have a common problem, but it is a problem that you can fix.

You need to take into  consideration the other persons feelings not just your own. When we are hurting and feeling rejected, it is easy to turn around and incorrectly incriminate our partner for being at fault. Your partner would feel just like you do, as the concern is within the relationship. You should not blame your spouse for the situation you are in. Try to approach the issue in a tactful way and see what needs to be done to address the issue.

Sometimes no matter how hard you try you can't fix the problem by yourself and you may need the advice of a professional. It is a good thing to get some outside help when the two of you are struggling to come to grips with your problem. A sex counselor is a professional that is there to assist you with your sexless marriage. You can start this by getting advice from your GP. Tell him about your marriage issues and ask him to refer you to a sex therapist.
