Hi,

I would advise you to visit a hospital and try to find out the cause of low testosterone. Once found you can take treatment accordingly for the underlying cause. Also, you can take testosterone injections for raising the levels. The problem is curable and I don't see any reason for divorce. You must reassure him and consult a physician at the earliest. You must also seek a counselling for the marital discord which will be very helpful.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
