Susan, age 34, is a married mother of two preschool-aged children (ages 2 and 4). Her husband, Steve, age 35, works full time, and Susan works part time on the weekends but primarily is a stay-at-home mother to her children.

The couple sought couples counseling, and their primary presenting concern was that Susan has not had any interest in sex with Steve for the past year. The couple reports that they have had intercourse about three times in the past year ("always at Steve's initiation"), they rarely display physical affection toward one another, and they fought frequently about their lack of sex for about the first six months of the past year. Lately, they have not fought often about the issue.

The partners indicate that, up until a year ago, Susan was very interested in sex, and they had sex approximately three times per week throughout their marriage (aside from immediately following the birth of their children). Susan states that she cannot pinpoint any particular reason for her lack of interest in sex and says, "Really, I just don't want it anymore. I'm not sure if I ever will again." Steve says that he is very frustrated but does not want to fight about it. He says, "I just want my wife back."
