Marriage is a sacred institution. With its sole purpose of establishing a family, marriage is more of a combination of love, respect, trust, communication, and commitment. It is not easy to settle in and adjust with another person.

What a couple can do in case the husband has erectile problems. How to maintain a healthy marital relationship despite the challenges. What are the most important components of male and female sexuality?
