Psychiatrist Debunks Marriage Myth: Is Helpfulness Enough to Reignite Intimacy?

Marriage Advice: Is Helpfulness Enough? A Psychiatrist Weighs In. A recent video by Dr. Richard Wadsworth, a psychiatrist with years of experience counseling couples, has sparked discussion about the complexities of marital attraction. Dr. Wadsworth challenges the common belief that simply increasing helpfulness will automatically solve intimacy issues. "A lot of guys just say, 'Oh, my wife just has a really low libido,'" he explains, "but in my experience, that's not the problem most of the time." He argues that deeper underlying issues often need to be addressed, suggesting that couples should seek professional help if intimacy problems persist. Dr. Wadsworth's video, while promotional in nature, highlights the need for couples to understand the multifaceted nature of their relationships and seek appropriate support when facing challenges.
