Is it really true that desire inevitably fades in long term relationships? Science says “no”!

One of the most heartbreaking things I see when working with couples is the situation where one or both partners believe “that time in our relationship is over”. Time and again, I see people yearning for the connection, the passion, the joy and aliveness that comes with a passionate romantic relationship.

I have even seen people leave a relationship with someone they love very deeply, because of the false belief that “if I don’t feel attraction , it means I am just not in love with them any more”.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

For people who feel trapped, lost, and desperate in a sexless or low-sex relationship, I am here to tell you that there is definitely hope. If there was attraction between you at the start of the relationship, then you have a basic biological compatibility, and that attraction can always be restored.

A lot of advice about this is grounded in false assumptions about sexual desire, and following that advice can make things worse, not better!

In this Special Investigation, we examine the “common wisdom” about rekindling desire, where it goes wrong, and the surprising truth about what is possible in a long-term relationship.

Somewhere around one in six American marriages are “sexless,” depending on how that term is defined.

One study found that 16 percent of married couples hadn’t had sex in the month prior to being contacted for the National Survey of Families and Households.

And another study by University of Chicago sociologist Edward Laumann, a leading researcher in his field, concluded that about 14 percent of married men and 15 percent of married women had had little or no sex within the previous year.

One study found that 14 percent of married men hadn’t had sex in the past year.

Statistics from Jim Thornton, Men’s Health magazine

Another significant proportion of relationships, while not “sexless”, have less sex than one or both partners would like. 57 percent of men in long-term relationships aren’t happy with the amount of sex they’re having, according to a new Chapman University survey.

But wait! It’s not all bad news!

32 percent of people surveyed by Chapman University said their sex lives were just as passionate now as they had been in the first six months of their relationships.

So, what makes the difference? What are the 32% doing right? And if you find yourself in the other two-thirds of the population, what can you do to change things?

To start with, it is very important to understand that there is a LOT of bad advice out there. Recommendations which not only won’t work in the long run, but may actually make your situation worse!
