Dear Sis Dolly,
I’ve been married for less than a year.
My husband is no longer interested in sex, it seems.
He keeps on saying we should both abstain and dedicate time to prayer, which I don’t disagree with, but it’s been more than seven weeks.
All he does when he’s home is play gospel music while chatting on his phone.
I really don’t know what to do. I’ve tolerated this so far but now I can’t anymore.
Please help. – Confused

Sis Dolly responds
You must be feeling dejected and confused by his behaviour.
It’s strange that he is acting this way without giving you a valid reason.
Your husband needs to explain what is going on so that you can work out a solution together.
I suggest you talk to him about how this makes you feel. Tell him that being intimate is important.
Make sure you don’t use an accusatory tone, though.
Also consider seeking couple’s counselling with a marriage counsellor.
