Good to spark thoughtful conversation

The McCarthy's book is helpful to get the conversation started about low-sex marriage. However, it requires two willing or somewhat willing partners. Throughout the book he recommends getting a sexual therapist involved which is helpful if you live in a mdetropolitan area with that sort of resource. Their exercises are somewhat helpful but are not a menu of step by step. It is more of a conceptual exercise on how to assess where you are at and what the next steps might be to make things better between you both.

Rekindling Desire: A Step by Step Program to Help Low-Sex and No-Sex Marriages

The insight revealed to me through this book was truly life changing. It is a guide to help couples change the way they view their expectations of long term, marital sexuality and put a new, healthy perspective into practice in order to renew and energize a most necessary and wonderful part of their marriage. With the knowledge I gained from this book, along with lots of prayer and a little relationship counseling, I was able to take what years of shame and social stigma had me convinced was the "normal" way to participate in a marriage and exchange it for a positive and loving character that encouraged me to love my husband emotionally, spiritually and physically without preconceived expectations or fear - including fear of rejection. Our once nearly dead marriage has taken a fresh new breath of life.

Top notch for couples in trouble or professionals alike

This book adressess a much ignored subject and provides a wealth of clinical material as well as a step by step guide for solving a very common and destructive problem.

SEX AFTER 20 YEARS OF MARRIAGE

Let's face it. If you've been married (and faithful) to the same person for 20 years, sex is going to get boring. And it probably didn't take 20 years either. Familiarity and excitement are not synonimous. On the other hand, sex can still be great and fun if you go by the instructions in this book. There is always a way to rekindle desire if the two involved parties are willing to make the effort. The key is willingness. It is assumed that the party who buys this book is willing, and hopefully has a willing partner. Another book that will guarantee that a couple's sex life is kicked into high gear is The Sensuous Couple's (Flip Over) Guide to Seismic Oral Sex. It's a flip over book, that comprises two-books-in-one. One side is practically an encyclopedia about fellatio. Flip it over and the othe rside is an encyclopedia about cunnilingus. Use both these books together, and you'll want to renew your vows all over again!

Is sex more work than play in your marriage? Do you schedule it in like a dentist appointment? Do you make love once a month, twice at the most? If you answered yes to these questions, you are among the forty million Americans trapped in a low-sex or no-sex marriage.

Now there is help from nationally acclaimed sex and marital experts Barry and Emily McCarthy, who for years have helped couples break down the barriers that have developed between them, and rebuild closeness and longing. Their groundbreaking ten-step program is designed to get sex and intimacy back into these marriages and revitalize relationships. Crafted by years of clinical practice, Rekindling Desire first shows couples how to root out the "poisons" that inhibit sexual desire: shame, guilt, anger, passivity, as well as medical side effects and physical dysfunctions. With sensitivity and tact, the McCarthys then lay out concrete techniques and effective strategies that help couples increase sexual awareness, confront inhibitions, revitalize desire, and integrate intimacy and eroticism.

An exciting new way to spark and sustain desire, Rekindling Desire confronts the secrecy and stigma of low-sex and no-sex marriages, teaching couples how to enjoy a fulfilling, life-long sexual partnership.
