your starter could need to be rebuilt or replaced. when starters get older and more worn they start to need more power to turn over.

Also make sure battery cables are good and that all connections are cleaned and tight.

Most local motor re-builders will check the starter for defects for free if you take the starter out. This will help you isolate the problem.
