10 Ways to fix a sexless marriage

2. Detox your relationship.

Sometimes, life events — like having kids or taking care of elderly parents — can derail your sex life, creating a dry spell. In many cases, though, the slow build up of resentment is what causes a sexless marriage.

Do an inventory and get honest about why you have drifted from one another. Either alone or with the support of a good therapist, get your emotional issues out in the open and work toward detoxing your sex life. This step isn’t the most fun, but it’s necessary for moving forward together. Only once you’re honest about what has been holding you back can you can move forward and reconnect.
