A reader, anonymous, writes (19 April 2009):

Well this hasn't happened to me but here is why i would imagine it happens:

The people live together now and become more familiar with each other's faults and annoying little quarks, and at the end of the day, all of those put together can turn off the attraction a bit.

People who are not married may feel that they must try harder to keep their significant other intreagued by them, and interested and therefor may actually feel obligated to be more secually active.

Before you are married and the time right after you are married are the most exciting times during most relationships, because it is still fun to learn more and more about the other person. Some people are still trying to impress the other person at this point too.. and all this excitement may lead to sexual excitement as well.

Before you are married, the idea of sex is still just for fun and kind of naughty, but once you are married, the whole world expects that you have had sex by now and it's not as fun.

The stress of married life (bringing in enough money, constantly having to be somewhere for someone else, constatly having to know where your family is, making, keeping, and remembering promises and responsibilites) can take a lot out of the mind and once the stress reaches a certain point, can take a lot out of the body as well. This makes people more tired and unwilling to engage in tiresome activities.

After marraige, the other person becomes more boring to you. There is no chase any more.

Well.. i hope i put some good ideas into your head.
