In that way, the sexual confusion and negative feelings become an issue between the husband and wife. Q. I have been married for 14 years and we have two children. Recently my wife went to work outside the home. Since that has happened, we rarely have intercourse anymore. It's quite possible.
Work can affect a sexual relationship in a number of ways.
The most common effect is that both people are too tired for sex. After working all day, then coming home and taking care of the children, the household chores and any other responsibilities, you and your wife may be too fatigued. Women or men who work all day outside the home and also do the majority of the child care and housework are often too tired for sex. If either or both spouses bring work problems home with them, this can stress the relationship, which may affect sexual relations as well. In addition, jealousy may become an issue when a wife begins or returns to work outside the home.
