Know Where to Begin
The Lack of Sex Is Usually the Symptom
Most men begin by talking about the bedroom.
Not long afterward, they’re talking about loneliness, rejection, resentment, confusion, and a marriage they barely recognize anymore.
Intimacy rarely disappears for only one reason. Communication changes. Stress builds. Bodies change. Menopause may affect desire, comfort, mood, sleep, and energy. Old hurts remain unresolved.
Before you can decide what to do, you need to understand what is actually happening.
Emotional Disconnection
You may still care about each other, but no longer feel emotionally close.
Unresolved Resentment
Old disappointments and unspoken hurt can make physical closeness feel unsafe.

THE 12-WEEK PROGRAM
The Sexless Marriage Reset
This is not about pressuring your wife to have more sex.
It is a confidential group coaching program designed to help you understand what is happening, rebuild your confidence, improve how you communicate, and gain clarity about what comes next.
MEET KAREN BIGMAN
I’ve had conversations most people never have.
I’ve sat with men who quietly wondered if their wives still wanted them. I’ve talked with women who deeply loved their husbands but avoided intimacy because of pain, hormones, exhaustion, or years of feeling misunderstood.
I’ve watched couples stop blaming each other the moment they finally understood what was really happening.
That’s why I created The Sexless Marriage Reset—not to teach men how to convince their wives to have more sex, but to help them understand what’s happening so they can become calmer, more confident, and more connected—regardless of where the journey leads.
As a Certified Sexuality Educator, Certified Menopause Coach, relationship coach, and host of Taboo to Truth: Life & Sex After 50, I bring together the science of sexual health, the realities of menopause, and years of coaching experience.
WHAT MEN TELL ME
Understanding changes the conversation.
“I thought I needed help fixing my marriage. What I really needed was to understand it.”
“For the first time in years, I stopped taking every rejection personally.”
“I finally understood what menopause had changed instead of assuming she didn’t love me anymore.”
“I stopped trying to win arguments and started having better conversations.”

Marriage Reset is

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions you may be
asking.
Many can. Some can’t. The first step isn’t deciding whether your marriage is over—it’s understanding why intimacy disappeared in the first place. Once you understand the real issues, you can make decisions with much more confidence.
There isn’t one answer. Menopause, pain during sex, emotional disconnection, resentment, stress, health changes, and relationship patterns can all play a role. The key is understanding your specific situation rather than assuming the worst.
Menopause can significantly affect desire, arousal, comfort during sex, sleep, mood, and energy. It can absolutely contribute to intimacy challenges, but it’s rarely the only factor. The relationship itself matters too.
It’s more common than most people realize. Many couples drift into a roommate relationship over time without meaning to. The good news is that understanding how you got there creates the opportunity to reconnect.
No. This is coaching and education designed to help you better understand yourself, your partner, and your relationship so you can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
No, this is a men-only group. If you’re interested in including her at a later date I can offer you a private session.
That’s part of the work. We work on understanding what the issues really are, whether they be addressed and what to do with that information moving forward
Yes. Each member must commit to confidentiality.
