Sometimes, after 7 years of marriage, a woman will go through a phase during which she's just not as into sex as she used to be. This seems to be very common, and may have little to do with anything the husband is or isn't doing. I had these dry seasons as well, during my 34 year marriage--and they often occurred at years which were multiples of 7. It wasn't that my wife stopped enjoying sex--when aroused, she'd be as hot and wanting it as ever--she just didn't want it very often--2 or 3 times a month, down from 2 or 3 times a week. Sometimes she'd come back to a more satisfying frequency after a few months, other times a year or two of "not enough" would ensue. It took me until the 28-year mark until I stopped feeling rejected during these spells, which was potentially damaging to our marital relationship. Yes--the wife may be cooling because of the practices the husband wants to engage in, but sometimes it's nobody's "fault", it's just phases of a marriage, the seasons of sexuality.
