Redcar,
I'm answering this question for you and the multitudes of other men that have the exact same situation:
It is rarely the case that your wife has suddenly become non-sexual. If I were to guess I'd say that she was probably VERY sexual when you were dating or during the early years of your marriage, otherwise you would not have married her. What happened since then, however, has less to do with her than it has to do with you.
Before you got married.. you expected that the level of intimacy would continue or even improve. Your wife expected that the level of romance, seduction, dating, adventure, etc. would continue or even improve. But we know that life happens... you get married... your focus on winning the bride is over... and you shift your focus on your career. She focuses on career/making a home/raising kids/feeding the family. You have both taken your focus off the relationship and you begin to take each other for granted.
Now...fast forward... You are in a sexless marriage now. How the hell did this happen? Before we explore that you need to understand ONE thing that my marriage mentor taught me long ago.
"A woman ALWAYS reacts to the man in her life."
Another way of saying it is "A woman FOLLOWS her man."
If you really grasp this SIMPLE yet POWERFUL concept, then you will be able to turn your marriage around and enjoy all the sex you can handle.
When a woman get's TURNED ON... it is because of WHO YOU ARE and WHO YOU ARE BECOMING.
The same is true in the opposite fashion... she could be turned OFF because of WHO YOU ARE and WHO YOU ARE BECOMING.
The solution for you is simple then - "Become the confident, strong, fearless, masculine MAN in her life who knows how to meet her emotional needs, and can romance, seduce, woo, and draw out her sexuality."
You cannot learn how to be this kind of man by listening to your wife. She expects you to ALREADY BE this kind of man. She is not going to TELL you how to turn her on... she just expects you to KNOW it... and she also knows that you DON'T know it and that is why she has put all her energy into everything else except being sexual with you. You can only learn this from other men... who have been down this road before you... who are currently enjoying all the sex they want.
Your wife is not broken. While she may appear to be non-sexual right now... that is HER reaction to YOU. This is GOOD NEWS! Because now you can learn to operate differently and get a better reaction from her in the future. You already know your wife was sexual once... she STILL IS... and it is up to you to bring her back to that frame of mind in which she was HIGHLY attracted and HIGHLY sexual with you. The good news is that it doesn't that long to do.

In your specific case... it doesn't matter how much money you make, how good you look, how good a father you are (if you have kids). Your wife doesn't care about ANY of that. All she cares about is how you make her feel everyday.
If you can GIVE to her... the feelings that she wants (and she won't tell you what or how)... then she will warm up to you again. You can go from 4 times a year... to once a week.... to 2-3 times a week.... to 4-5 times a week if that's what you want.
Please check out the details of "How to Create a More Sexual Marriage Relationship" I believe that one will serve you well.
I also want to tell you about a friend of mine. He's someone I care about and talk to regularly... and he told me that he was only "getting it" once a quarter. Which is the same frequency as you right now. He did NOT check out the materials and blew it off saying "Ahh.. It'll never work... my wife is just not into sex anymore." I wish I could have convinced him then... but I wasn't able to. A year later... he came to me with tears... "She's cheating on me." he said. Suddenly... his "Non-Sexual" wife was entrenched in TWO affairs... one with a guy at work... and another with a neighbor. Having more sex in one month than my friend has had in his entire life!
I'm not saying that your wife would suddenly have an affair. But you BOTH have breaking points. It's only a question of WHO is going to break first.
The only other thing I will say is that... We know you're unhappy with the lack of sex in your marriage. But guess what... even though she won't admit it to you... your wife is unhappy about it too. She needs YOU to lead her to a better place.
Thanks for listening... if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me in private or on this forum.
It's my sincere hope that you find the answers you're looking for in the materials I've suggested. It did wonders for me personally... and for the men before and after me.
Hope this helps,
David
