Classic couples problem: What do therapists typically suggest?
I'm talking about the couple where one has very low sex drive, and the other one is very high.
Compromising with a schedule of once a week hasn't worked: the one is still hating the frequency,
and the other still complains of not getting enough. What solution do therapists suggest?
(not divorce or open marriage)

I would personally recommend talking to your doctor. There are a lot of medical things that can lead to a low libido as well as a number of treatments available to increase your libido.
I really don't think this is a problem that you can work out between the two of you unless the one with the lower libido finds something (like a sexual activity or object) that increases their desire.

if "the one" isn't wanting sex, you need to ask why? is there an emotional connection? do they feel loved? how much sex went on before marriage? i was the same way early in marriage but my husband made zero attempt to meet my needs and then expect me to give it up all the time. There has to be a loving relationship for her to want it.

if low sex drive is in the mind nothing can be helpful, if its physical may be addressed (low sex drive person is not sufferer. foreplay, masturbation use of vibrator (for time being) and also to boost sex drive so many things try.. nice deo/spray .. wearing sexy outfit.. watching porn..phantacy.. ********..

Perhaps it may be helpful to seek an appointment with a therapist in your area.

Low sex drive needs to be evaluated. If depression is found, he or she needs to be treated by a real psychologist/psychiatrist, not a family practitioner who likes to prescribe SSRIs.

this is getting into dealbreaker territory. if low drive doesn't up it to at least twice a week, low drive is going to be divorced. get into therapy asap.

I wish I knew this answer.
Maybe its time to schedule some therapy.
India seemed to have it right.

the person with the low sex drive should have their hormones and vitamin and mineral levels tested.
