MPT - Sorry it's taken me so long to thank you for your latest response. I'm still trying to come up with ways to make sure my wife knows how wonderful I think she is, but I'm not having much luck. It doesn't help that we got into an argument on Saturday (which eventually worked it's way into the sex argument). However, for once it didn't get out of hand - as compared to the usual sex argument anyway. It actually may have helped for once - later that day my wife sat beside me a couple of times while we had people at the house and she blatantly TOUCHED me! No, nothing even remotely sexual - just sort of leaning against me - but for so long I've felt that she does everything possible to avoid even brushing up against me, that I definitely noticed something different when she touched me. At least I felt like she was making an effort. Hopefully that will continue. Please keep me in mind - I appreciate any advice that you can give me.

Poe - Thanks for your comments as well. I took a look at marriagebuilders.com today and it seems to have some good information. I'll certainly spend some more time looking through the site when I have a chance. With regard to marriage counseling, I've suggested it before and my wife acted like there was no way she'd go to counseling - nor did she think it would do any good. I've also considered going by myself, but as of yet I haven't checked into it. I can't get too excited about going to counseling sessions alone, but I don't doubt that it would be helpful.
