Description

Steve claimed: “Marriage killed my sex life.”

Mary claimed: “My perfect lover turn into a macho jerk after we got married.”

This once-romantic couple had become a marital and sexual disaster. Their sex was a roller-coaster ride; at times romantic and exciting and at other times sex was awkward and inhibited. And most sexual encounters were followed by accusations and defensiveness.

They had failed several attempts at marriage counseling – because those counselors failed them.

Sex can bring out the worst in a couple. Mary ended up having a short affair with an old boyfriend and when Steve found out about the Mary’s affair he was shocked. Steve was torn between wanting Mary and the marriage, but feeling his masculinity was under attack and wanting a divorce.

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
