Tips On Putting Sex Back Into Your Marriage

One readers asks for help to get that loving feeling back into her relationship.

I have trouble showing any kind of affection toward my husband—kissing, holding hands or even hugging. I feel awkward whenever I try. When he is affectionate with me, it still feels awkward and sometimes I find myself getting angry. Talk about confusing. We've been married for 13 years, and honestly, except for this problem we are very happy. I've never been a very sexual person and I don't become aroused on my own very often. I would love to tell him I was "horny" once in a while. He would probably pass out and ask me what I did with his wife. Sex often feels like a chore or a job. During our courtship there was a lot more sex, and affection, and we were very passionate. He told me last night that he was tired of initiating sex and he never felt like I wanted him and that I wasn't attracted to him. I told him that he could be Brad Pitt or Antonio Banderas and I still wouldn't feel "horny". Well, of course this didn't make him feel any better and I just feel horribly guilty. I wish I could just take a "horny" pill. I promised him I would get some help somewhere... so please help.
