If you perceive a problem in your relationship, don't ignore it. Ignoring problems or pretending they will go away can lead to a complete breakdown in communication and intimacy. Focus on your strengths. Be creative in finding ways to make yourself feel more attractive. Arrange times for you and your partner to be alone and to spend time together.
Some older couples find that they now have the freedom to start 'dating' again.
If acceptable, explore new ways to give sexual pleasure to each other or yourself. Be patient - both men and women may notice that it tends to take longer to become sexually aroused than when they were younger. More touching and manual stimulation may be required to become fully aroused. This increase in time to reach arousal is usually not related to a lack of interest in your partner. If you notice that you are generally less interested in sex than previously, it may be worth looking at what other factors may be involved.
