You and your partner have been together for a few years and, whether you care to admit it, the sex has become routine or even mechanical. Sometimes you feel so bored with your sex life that you wouldn’t mind abstaining from it altogether.

When couples have been together for a while, it’s hard to stop the deep and primal desire for each other from slipping away because you don’t feel as turned on as you used to when you were dating. The reality is that you have become too relaxed and set in your routines or maybe too distracted or stressed by unending daily responsibilities.

Welcome to “married sex”; it’s official that your sex life has gone stale. Don’t panic, though, you don’t need to call time of death on your sex life just yet.

Even though sex may not be like it was when you were in your 20s, you can still find what works best for you and your partner. You can still make the experience hot and exciting and certainly don’t need to settle for lacklustre sex.

To begin with, you can take control by shifting your focus back to you and your partner and rebuild a deep connection with them, says Nathalie Sommer, a certified relationship and intimacy coach, who offers tips on how to get your sex life back on track.
