------------------
Takeaways

Painful sex is a common issue that many couples experience but often struggle with in isolation.

Vaginismus, a condition involving tight pelvic floor muscles, is a common cause of pain during sex and can be addressed through physical therapy.

Allergies to condoms, lubricants, or spermicides can also cause discomfort during sex, and exploring alternative options may help.

Menopause can lead to dryness and pain during sex, and hormone replacement therapy may be a solution.

Believing and supporting your spouse when they experience pain is crucial, and seeking medical help and therapy can provide solutions.

If one solution doesn't work, keep seeking alternatives and don't give up on finding ways to enjoy sex.

During times of pain or discomfort, couples can focus on growing closer in other ways and finding intimacy outside of intercourse.

Men can also experience pain during sex, and there are solutions available for them as well.

Open communication, seeking help, and supporting each other are key to addressing and overcoming painful sex in a marriage.
