My husband’s poor libido

My husband has not touched me now for the past two years. Every time I ask him what the problem is, he will tell me that he has no interest in sex but that he is praying about it. He has refused to go and see the doctor. He is 65 years and I am 40 years old. Kindly tell me what to do.

While the interest in sex sometimes decreases in some individuals with increasing age, it is very unusual for someone to have a complete lack of interest in sex. Apart from advancing age, your husband may be going through some psychological and medical problems including uncontrolled Hypertension or Diabetes among other ailments. The situation will definitely benefit tremendously with a visit to the hospital. You may need to seek the assistance of some senior members of his family or respected members of your place of worship to encourage him to seek a complete physical and Laboratory check- up.
