Description
Description: This talk offers practical tools for addressing low desire, sexless marriages, and infidelity. Drawing on clinical research and decades of experience, Michele Weiner-Davis reframes desire as a relational decision. She outlines how therapists can guide couples toward physical reconnection, emotional repair, and trust rebuilding—even when only one partner is ready to engage.
Syllabus Description: It is said that one in three couples experience a sexual desire gap, a difference that often wrecks havoc in every aspect of marital life. When you add to this the compelling statistic that one out of ten couples has a sexless marriage, it's easy to understand why so many couples are losing tough both literally and figuratively. A marriage that is void of healthy intimacy and physical connection risks divorce and/or infidelity. Learn what you can do to help couples bridge the desire gap and bring passion back to marriage, and also help couples heal from infidelity.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe three methods for bridging the sexual desire gap.
- To describe two techniques for healing from infidelity.
