Summary of Michele Weiner Davis' The Sex-Starved Marriage

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 One out of every three marriages struggles with problems related to low sexual desire. Complaints about low desire are the number one problem brought to sex therapists. And many sex experts believe that low sexual desire in men is America’s best-kept secret. #2 Low sexual desire in men is common, but men are still afraid to talk about it. It threatens the very foundation on which their feelings of self-worth are based. #3 Tom and Debra’s marriage was suffering from the same problems as the first couple. They were unable to escape the exasperating labyrinth of blame versus counterblame. They still claimed they wanted to stay together, but I could see that unless something drastic changed, they were headed for divorce. #4 A sex-starved marriage is when one spouse is deeply unhappy with his or her sexual relationship, and this unhappiness is ignored, minimized, or dismissed. The resulting disintegration of the relationship encapsulates the real meaning of a sex-starved marriage.
