One week, we'd have sex three and four times a week. Other weeks were a wasteland of sexual inactivity

Just a thought...
A woman's sexual response can be very closely tied to her menstrual cycle. For a few days to a week a month, around the time she's ovulating, many women feel a
marked increase in sex drive, and a lower rate the rest of the month. It sounds like your wife might be one of those women, and the fact that it's gone from several times a week (one week a month) to one encounter per month, might hint at a hormonal cause? Has she recently started birth control pills or some other form of hormonal contraception? Has she seen a doctor? I think any dramatic change in a woman's sex drive for no other apparent reason warrants a trip to the gynecologist. I also agree with everyone else who says this needs to be addressed between you - it is your life too, after all, and it's not likely to get better on its own.
That said, I have been married over 15 years, and our love life has absolutely ebbed and flowed over the years. Without a doubt, years 5-8 were the hardest in our relationship, and the closest we ever came to ending it was at about the 7 year mark. Hang in there, because it does get easier with time.
