Married sex is sex that involves two whole people with their thoughts, emotions, and bodies in a state of delightful, committed physical intimacy. The entire point of the sexual act lies in loving each other. In the marriage bed, we don't "make love," we give love, physically, to our spouses.
It's not surprising, then, that the same things that interfere with mental and emotional love, can also interfere with sex and the sexual response. Common culprits include:
ANXIETY. It is hard to be naked and vulnerable when you are nervous around your spouse for any reason. Think of it. belittle your spouse or make fun of them in any way, why would they be eager to hop in bed with you? But when a spouse feels secure in the marriage--feels that this relationship and this person is a place of emotional and physical safety--the instinct to cover and hide will fade away.
When a person is anxious for a reason that has nothing to do with the marriage, that anxiety can still interfere with the sexual relationship. Fear makes the necessary relaxation impossible. So can a situation, project, or decision that dominates one spouse's mind. In all cases, the cause of the anxiety needs to be addressed first, to remove the block to sex.
