Let me suggest an approach for the husband with a family and a wife is uninterested/ unwilling in sex. This is for a husband with a family (women dealing with uninterested men would have a different approach) and if you have no children and have waited you could consider leaving. For a husband and father, before you look at divorce, visitation, consider the following plan.
1. Try to understand her as an entire person. A lot of things need to be working right for sex for the average married woman. For many, she needs to be happy with her life overall and with her husband. Is she is overwhelmed, see if you can help. Unhappy with her home, see if anything can be changed. Recognize and compliment her on the things she does right as a mother or wife (without suggesting sex shortly thereafter).
2. Good context Try to create some romantic settings and reduce negative influences. If you have been a little sloppy, seeing dirty dishes or a sloppy family room will reduce whatever chance you had.
3. Try to create some modest physical contact, holding hands and occasional kiss.
4. Improve your appearance Start working out and lose some weight if needed. Don't wear some old shirts around the house.
5. Be good. If you do have relations, you need to be good. It has to be more than a couple of minutes and ideally she can be satisfied but not in a confrontational manner (did this do it, did this do it). You want her to want more.
6. Okay, none of this helped. Start being a little less approachable. Go out a little more. Try to see some female friends or acquaintances in acceptable circumstances. Maybe one can call you for some reason. A little jealousy or perceived interest can kick start a marriage.
7. Consider some form of counseling
8. Have a discussion about sex not in the context of sex. Next time she wants to go to her mother's you tell you are not in the mood. Having really worked hard on your marriage, feel free to be a little tougher. A fight maybe good so she can understand that to have a marriage, she needs to be a wife. Resist the tendency to be blunt or connect things too quickly. Let her figure out the connection between her unapproachability and your lack of interest in other areas.
8. You have genuinely tried to meet her needs, taken her to romantic places, got in better shape, and even tried to make her jealous and still nothing. Then consider saying, I understand you want a divorce and I am prepared to discuss it. If she expressed surprise, note that a satisfactory marital relationship is a part of marriage, and she said she does not want it.
If she wants to preserve the marriage, be nice, tell her that you will try to meet whatever her needs are. Do note that sex is not simply physical feeling but the feeling of constant rejection and that you are not good enough devastating for the average man.
