Good sexual relationship

A satisfying sexual relationship is part of every truly happy marriage. It can be achieved by any physically and emotionally healthy man and wife who care for each other. This word about psychiatric treatment when it is needed for marital problems: Modern psychiatry recognizes that the fragmenting forces in marriage are much like those in any human interaction. 

Jealousies, fears, anxieties, tensions are universal. Within the intimacy of marriage, how- ever, such emotions can all too easily reach intolerable levels. Seldom is a marriage in trouble through the sole fault of one partner. Both partners -and a third factor, the marriage itself-usually need therapy. In recognition of this, modern psychiatric treatment for marital trouble primarily seeks to treat both partners. 

There are several commonly used forms of treatment: successive therapy of husband and wife; concurrent therapy, i.e., simultaneous treatment of both partners by the same therapist but at different times; conjoint therapy, i.e., simultaneous treatment of both partners in joint sessions; collaborative therapy, i.e., with a separate therapist for each partner; group therapy of various types; and family therapy oriented mainly toward the parental relationship.

 In marital therapy, there is opportunity for both husband and wife to learn alternative patterns of behavior to replace those which have caused distress. With successful treatment, children are likely to benefit significantly. And it should be added that, as the two partners themselves learn to give and receive more positively and adequately in their marriage relationship, they may also increase their capacities for obtaining rich emotional and other rewards from interactions with the world at large.
