Women, Sex, and Marriage is an education program designed to address the pattern of female unresponsiveness in marriage, which may contribute to an increase in emotional stress, marital discord/divorce, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, guilt, and shame. This program operates from a more holistic approach as focusing on merely the physical dimensions of sexuality may not adequately address the issues behind sexual unresponsiveness. The program will address marital relationship factors of friendship, trust, intimacy, and partnership, explore the impact of past or current trauma or abuse, identify the influence of negative messages learned about self and sexuality from various contexts including family and culture, and review the female libido, arousal, and response cycles to gain greater insight, sexual response, and relationship satisfaction.
