Denying your spouse sex is almost as bad as denying your children food and water.
Well said.
I believe that unless there is a VERY good (i.e., health) reason, denying your spouse sex is CHEATING on your spouse, every bit as much as infidelity is cheating.
When atrophy occurs from the lack of hormones required to support a uterus, any sexual activity becomes extremely painful.
Usually uterine atrophy doesn't occur until long after menopause, well into a woman's 60s, unless it's partnered with endometrial cancer. [URL="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/vaginal-atrophy/DS00770"]Vaginal atrophy[/URL] is much more common, and a topical hormone creme, tablet, or ring can go a long way to preventing that, as can maintaining a sex life all along. Some women who can't or won't take oral hormone replacement therapy can use the local stuff. Usually the only women who shouldn't are those with a history or high risk of breast, ovarian, or uterine cancer. And there are a number of non-hormonal products that can help restore some moisture.
I don't say this lightly, but if uterine atrophy is causing your spouse pain, has she thought about having a hysterectomy? That would get rid of the pain, and not having pain (and therefore not fearing pain) can be a tremendous help in getting a sex life back. I realize it's a tough decision, though.
Would people even marry without sex? I know a lot of women go on and say how all a man wants is sex in the dating world, but really would anyone go on to marry without sex ever being part of marraige?

Sex goes south in 90% of all marriages. The answer is simple, if you like good quality sex, don't get married! If your desire to reproduce is great get married and forget about mind blowing sex!

Menopause was in her 20's.
Lots of female cancers.
Doctors have refused to do a hysterectomy.
