Couples counseling has something of a bad reputation. Success rates are dismal, and for many couples, enrolling in marriage counseling signifies the beginning of the end of a relationship.

I agree to have the conversation about how you feel about your spouse. But what if te spouse is not willing to have sex talk at all? How to start the conversation without offending him or making him uncomfortable?

Problem is I told my wife throughout our marriage as she gained weight that she was gaining weight. i invited her to workout with me all the time. Well, found out she was sleeping with another man throughout our 4 years of dating and 10 years of marriage. That was one excuse she gave for doing it; that I was mean and expressed how I felt about her weight gain. So now I am even more confused after watching your video about being honest about attraction.

There is definitely a right and wrong way to approach weight gain in a spouse. A better option might be to figure out why she is gaining weight. Was she unhappy? Stress, job change, children? Not everyone enjoys working out. Perhaps it would be better to find something she enjoys, and come up with a plan to be healthy together. https://www.strongmarriagenow.com/marriage-advice-understanding-differences-communication-styles/

Hi Shemika, if your need for sex is so strong you are thinking of having an affair, you should probably seek counseling. Sex once a week may be less than you want, but it's not as though your sex life is barren. Try talking to your husband to see if there is something he is missing, or if there is a medical need overlooked. Otherwise, you may need to bond with your husband in other ways. https://www.strongmarriagenow.com/help-my-husband-wants-less-sex-than-i-do/
