Sexual problems between man and wife can be a significant impairment in the marital relationship.

Lack of open communication about their feeling in this matter is one of the most frequent reasons for the development of sexual incompatibility in a marriage.

In taking a history of these problems, counselors frequently find that the difficulties started early in marriage. Because of embarrassment, lack of knowledge and understanding of human sexuality, unrealistic expectations, or even guilt and fear, the problems weren’t discussed.

Many men won’t admit a lack of understanding of human sexuality, and won’t admit the need for help, because they fear this would show a weakness that would be intolerable to their ego. Many women, on the other hand, have been led to believe that sex in marriage serves only the function of procreation and is a duty to one’s husband. For them to consider alternative ways of looking at the role of sex in marriage would be going against all of their deep-rooted beliefs.

Although the incidence of pre-marital sex has risen drastically over the past several decades, the simple fact remains that simply having the experience before marriage, particularly when surrounded by many of the negative aspects of the early experiences, provides no assurance that the proper information about sexuality is obtained. The reverse is true in many cases, so that the individual who ahs experienced pre-marital sex goes into the marriage with faulty, naïve or even negative beliefs about physical relationships between male and female.
