Common marriage habit could quietly destroy your sex life, expert warns See more of our coverage in your search results.

Why it matters

Add The New York Post on Google Sexual desire can change over the course of a marriage, particularly with age and major life changes — and research suggests certain lifestyle and relationship factors may also contribute to a lower libido.

Common ground

But changes in desire or frequency do not necessarily mean a couple’s sex life is unhealthy, according to experts.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Exaggeration / Hyperbole: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.

Claim 1: “research suggests certain lifestyle and relationship factors may also contribute to a lower libido”
CORROBORATED

Claim 2: “research has shown this leads to maintaining “stronger desire” over time”
CORROBORATED
The claim is directly supported by a news report (European Press/Fox News) which quotes a therapist stating that approaching intimacy 'as a team' leads to 'stronger desire' over time. This is further supported by a research PDF regarding 'Maintaining Sexual Desire in Intimate Relationships' and another source linking emotional connections to increases in sexual desire.

Claim 3: “Dr. Anna Elton, a licensed marriage and family therapist and clinical sexologist in Massachusetts”
MISLEADING
While multiple sources confirm that Anna Elton is a PhD, LMFT, and Clinical Sexologist, the claim states she is based in Massachusetts. However, the wikiHow expert profile explicitly states she is 'based in Florida'. The other sources confirm her credentials but do not specify a state or contradict the Florida location.
