If sex and love are intertwined, why do so many spouses that “love” their partners not have much sex ?
Yahoo answers is filled with questions and stories of spouses that are sexually unfulfilled because their husband or wife is not very interested in sex, or is not very sexually adventurous.
Yet, most people on this site also seem to believe that sex and love (and thus marriage) are inextricably intertwined.
If it is true that being in love the basis for sex, and that the two must must be connected, then why are so many people that are in love with their spouse not very into having sex with them? Should not being in love make the sexual desire automatic? Or, could it be that the two really are not at all connected, as recent brain studies suggest (http://www.livescience.com/health/050531_love_sex.html)?

You can love your spouse but no longer be “in love” with them. If you’re not in love it’s hard to arouse any sexual feelings for them.
