Thank you, Captain Obvious. LOL!
My preferred method for "battle" is to withdraw and not engage in our normal play. My Wife and I laugh and smile at each other all the time.
This turns to resentment and anger far beyond the initial issue making intimacy very unlikely which further degrades the situation.
I married my Wife for many reasons, my desire for her is top of that list and without that connection... Simple enough but I know so many men that speak poorly of their wives and you can hear the distance in their voices.
Yeah......duhhhhhh...
another pseudo-scientific “clinical” assessment based on
“MARRIED STUDENTS”?????
How about the more interesting and prevalent “demographic”
of couples that have been married, 25,30,40 years and more
who find that they’ve
“lost interest” in physical sex as they are physicaly “less able to do it well”(especially in these nose-to-
the-grindstone, extra-stressful times)or dialed down their
biological instincts and found more important priorities?
Traditional sex , practiced twice a week, twice a month, twice a year,does nothing, with or without “arguments” to leaven or counterbalance it, to establish the real stuff, which is openness, honest intimacy, and mutual respect and responsibility for shared goals, which is the only thing that means anything in the real world.
