Question:
Salaam,
Me and my husband have been married for several years, at the beginning of our relationship we used to have a lot of sex and were very intimate. However in the last year or so things have changed. My husband does not want to have sex or kiss. He will when initiated by me (sometimes), but it has been a long time since he has made the first move. H says he is tired, but I don’t know why this happens all the time. I feel very low within myself. I hope you can advice me please.
Thank you.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Desire may diminish in frequency through the years but it is not normal or healthy for it to just unilaterally disappear. Try to discuss it gently with your husband as he may not be realizing he is breaking your heart. Recite Ya Wadud x100 daily.
