Need advice

[jstew]

My wife and I are happily married. we have had our ups and downs, but with prayer and grace God has helped us throug it all.

I am battling a delima here. I have a pretty high sex drive. My wife has went into menopause at a very early age and has NONE!!! We have sex, but not near as much as we used to and she pretty much does it because she knows that I enjoy it and it is an emotional and physical bond for me. I miss making love to somone that also enjoys it!!!

I do not want to be shelfish, but how can I curb my high drive when she has none. Is there anything that we can do to bring it back???

thank you!!! God Bless

It’s actually pretty likely that your wife’s lessening of libido has absolutely nothing to do with her early menopause, unless it has to do with what caused her to begin menopause early. I would suggest speaking with a general practitioner about the situation and try to identify what is causing this, if it is a concern for the both of you and your marriage. It may be caused by either physical or psychological factors, and may be treatable.

However, unless you have discussed this with your wife and have found she is as concerned as you are about the situation, you may find that she is quite content with her new level of libido. If this is the case, the two of you are sure to have many discussions in the future of how best to support and love each other in this situation, which includes aiding each other to avoid sin. You may also want to look into ways of lowering your own libido.

God Bless!
