Thank you for your question. I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, but I wanted to think about my answer before giving anything. I am not a therapist who works with low sexual desire, so I recommend that you also give your question to others on the site who do work with this. You might ask Annette Owens or Sandra Leiblum. Both can give you more help.
What I do know though is that your situation is the number one presenting issue of couples to sex therapists, and that low sexual desire which you are referring to as sex drive is found among both men and women. In your case it is you with the sex desire that is not as frequent as your husbands' but it could be the other way around.
Your medications, active work life and expectations in marriage may certainly contribute to your feeligs, so I do suggest that you contact other therapists (and doctors) on this site for information and referrals. This is a situation that can be worked on, and there is a lot being done when you work together with a therapist/counselor to look at the issue with you and your husband.
Thank you for writing.Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
