RelationshipsQ&A: "What should you do if the husband has a lower sex drive than the wife (which is unusual)? What do you do if your husband has not shown an interest in even trying to be romantic for years??"

Q and A is your opportunity to ask questions regarding the Bible, church, or just about anything regarding Christian faith and life. Submit questions on the response form in your bulletin or E-mail the Church Office.

What should you do if the husband has a lower sex drive than the wife (which is unusual)? What do you do if your husband has not shown an interest in even trying to be romantic for years?

Regardless if your husband's sex drive is high or low he is responsible before God to love you as Christ loves the church. This includes meeting your sexual and romantic needs. Just as many good and godly wives choose to find ways to meet the sexual needs of their husbands whose sex drive may be greater than theirs, so a good and godly husband should seek to find ways to fulfill the sexual and romantic needs of his wife. The scriptures even warn us that depriving each other from sex can open up the door for great temptation from the devil. See 1Cor 7:2-5.

Maybe there is a medical answer to his low sex drive? Have you discussed your desires with him and the effects of this lack of intimacy in your marriage?
