I have tryed to talk to her about it but she want talk about it . i been told that reading though sex stories will help me though it . but i feel it will make me want more like looking at pics. is there anything i can do that can help me ?? i like to read but i dont know what to do . i dont want to turn my back on the lord but i need some help i asked god for a sign but i think the sign is from the devil . looking doesnt hurt as long as u dont lust after that person... some one help can look at a woman and not think i want sex with her . i need what u said from bible that way i can look it up for myself.

Well this is outside my range of experience.. seeing as I have never been married. But I do know that 'sex stories' probably won't help.. especially if they are porn mag type things.

What I do know.. from what I have read and seen.. if a lady is stressed or tired.. chances are she won't be interested in a physical, energetic, pulsating act late at night.

Maybe she hasn't got the balance right between work and leisure? Or has some emotional stress?

I don know.. but from what I read.. alot of disinterest in sex is not related to disinterest in their partner.. but from physical and mental stress and exhaustion .. that makes the act of sex-- which involves physical and mental exertion.. less appealing.

So chances are she ain't turned off you.. but has something messing with her energy and well-being making sex undesirable... but I am just guessing.

Join the marriage ranks. who has not been in a marriage that, either party has wanted to make love with their married partner, and the other partner didn't want to, even though the Bible says

1co 7:1Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.1co 7:2Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.1co 7:3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.1co 7:4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
I think the rejection part is the hardest to deal with for myself, but is that rejection not a selfish thought. that only causes other things between you and the one that God has put you with. there are over sex drives on both sides. I hear men saying that their wives seem like they want to make love all the time. and I think Boy just once would I like to be in their shoes , not with their wife but that my wife would be like theirs , I know that is wrong also, no one in here has to tell me that, I am just being honest here. now I know by your thread that there are other men out there that don't always get their every need met by their wife, either. the best thing that has helped me is to practice forgiveness when we think our spouses have let us down. and I would not recommend ready sex stories or even looking at pictures But I would suggest that rather pick up the Word of God and read it. which reminds me I need to go read the Word of God now!!!!!! Find out the things that might help your wife, such as cuddling or a date out, a little more romance. you spend time reading sex stories why not put them down spend more time with your wife just talking and trying to get to know her better. you might even get her to stop thinking that sex is all you are after. and maybe once you get to know her , you will find that she is something else besides someone to have sex with. I am not the one to be given advice on this subject but hope in some small way this may have help. turn to God for your solution to all your problems He is the answer.
