Honeymoon Phase is Over

Frankie:
My husband and I have been married for just over 2 years. Lately our relationship hasn't been as passionate as it was in the past. Should I be worried that he doesn't want sex as often? Is it a sign that he loves me less? I am confused and afraid to think the worst. Help!

Cassandra:
What you are experiencing is a normal phase of marriage: you are shifting from the newlywed stage into the long term relationship development phase.

Unless you see signs of unusual behaviour in your husband (like suddenly needing to work a lot of overtime, or receiving too many 'wrong' number calls to your home), don't worry.

The honeymoon phase of a marriage is a great period of experimentation and sexual expressiveness but eventually other priorities surface and couples find they have less time and energy for sex.

What was spontaneous in the first year or two of marriage may now require a bit of planning to achieve the same result - and there is nothing wrong with that at all. Just be aware and understand that it is life getting in the way of what previously was a huge priority for both of you.

Plan a romantic evening and seduce your hubby. The result can be just as stimulating as your early times together.

Good luck!
