Overcoming Common Sexual Struggles in Marriage

-
Sexual intimacy is an important aspect of any marriage, but it's not uncommon for couples to experience challenges in this area. Whether it's due to stress, lack of time, or simply a loss of physical and emotional connection, these struggles can have a profound impact on the happiness and well-being of both partners.

Jane and Tom, and Sarah and Mike are two couples who sat down to talk about their experiences with sexual struggles in their marriages.

Jane says, "Tom and I used to have a great sex life, but lately, it just seems like we can't seem to get on the same page. I feel like he's not as interested as he used to be, and I don't know how to bring the spark back."

Sarah nods in agreement, "Mike and I have been facing similar issues. With work and kids, it feels like there's never any time or energy left for intimacy. And when we do try, it just feels mechanical and unfulfilling."

Sexual struggles in marriage can stem from a variety of factors, including physical and emotional distance, changes in routine or lifestyle, and hormonal imbalances. However, the good news is that these challenges can be overcome with a little effort and commitment from both partners.

One solution is to prioritize intimacy. Sarah says, "We started setting aside time for just the two of us, even if it's just a quick cuddle before bed. It's a small step, but it helps us feel connected and reminds us why we fell in love in the first place."

Tom adds, "We also started making date nights a regular part of our schedule. It's a time for us to focus on each other, have fun, and reignite that physical connection."

Another solution is to communicate openly and honestly with your partner. Jane says, "I realized that a big part of our struggles was because I was too afraid to talk to Tom about my needs and desires. Once I started opening up and telling him what I wanted, it made a huge difference."

Mike chimes in, "For us, it's been helpful to set aside time to discuss our physical and emotional needs, as well as what we can do to support each other in overcoming our struggles."

Finally, couples can seek help from a therapist or counselor if necessary. Talking to a professional can provide valuable insights and strategies for improving intimacy and overcoming any underlying emotional or psychological issues.

In conclusion, overcoming common sexual struggles in marriage is possible with effort, communication, and a willingness to prioritize intimacy. With the right tools and support, couples can revive their physical and emotional connection and rediscover the joy and fulfillment of sexual intimacy.

Fat women are still beautiful: but beware of obesity

Obesity is a disease that has been a worrying issue in the world today, more and more ladies particularly in the Western world today are conscious of the stigma that is attached to being overweight. Any perceived or actual increase in size is often seen as an anathema which is as a source of social disapproval. While some are naturally slim, others are plump as encoded in their genes. Social acceptance or disapproval of body structure emanates from the culture of the society and passed on from generation to generation. African men (not all) are particularly wary of slim women, whom they label as unfed, sick, bony and are symbolically compared to the letter 1, stick or a tiny broom. In sexual terms they tag them as not 'handy', shortchanged and deprived of the vital body structures to get them aroused. They are favourably inclined to fat women, they believe these women are the endowed. To be a plump woman means beauty to the African man. To him, she is handy, and fleshy to per

Child marriage is real and its consequences stare us in the face. its effects on the social well-being of the child, psychological and health cannot be over-emphasized. Where illiteracy and poverty abound, the effects become all consuming. My Sociological analysis is critical of religious dogma attached to some certain belief system and I promise to tackle the phenomenon without bias. I understand the emotional appeal which religion carries, I also understand the functions and its roles in bringing about stability and cohesion, psychological and moral function as well as its role in reconstructing social identity. I'm aware however, that religion has also been the bane of progress in many societies across the world stimulating conflict and resulting in loss of lives and properties. Adherents of religious belief attribute their actions as emanating from a divine authority and their behaviours are the manifestation of their moral duty to the divine. Sociologically speaking however

As women age, their bodies undergo various changes that can impact their sexual desire. Men who are in relationships with women, especially those who are approaching or have reached menopause, should understand these changes to keep the spark alive in their relationships. Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It occurs when a woman's ovaries stop producing eggs, and her menstrual cycle stops. Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. However, the symptoms of menopause can begin years before the actual menopause, during a phase called perimenopause. Perimenopause is a transitional period that can last anywhere between two to ten years. During this period, women may experience a wide range of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. These symptoms can affect a woman's sexual desire and may result in a decreased libido. The decrease in estrogen levels durin
