No Physical Intimacy – Contributing Factor or Symptom of Your Unhappy Marriage?
"
Ponder the question posed in the title of this article for a moment. Most unhappy marriages have one thing in common – there is little to no physical intimacy. To enjoy a happy and fulfilling sex life, you generally have to be happy and secure in your relationship.
Many people make the mistake of thinking just because they are human beings and sex is something that is a physical ‘need’, it will naturally happen regularly when they are in a long term relationship. Like your marriage itself, this department is something that needs to be nurtured and not neglected.
How often do you and your spouse enjoy physical intimacy with each other? Is it as much as you would like? Does one of you want it more than the other? Some people like to make the sweeping generalization that the husband in a marriage will want it far more than the wife and he will have to ‘get what he is given’. While perhaps it is true that men crave the physical side of things more than women, it is also very important to most women too.
The bottom line is – a healthy sex life is one of the many benefits of a good, happy marriage. When things are good, it is something both parties will look forward to and enjoy. When things aren’t so good, the chances are that at least one of you will have a decreased interest and desire in that side of things.
It’s fair to say that for the majority of couples, there was at least one extended time period when they enjoyed a fruitful sex life. For some couples, this area has always been a prominent part of their marriage. If this isn’t the case for you, you might be asking yourself “What do they have that we don’t?”. There is no definitive answer to that question. It could be that those couples are simply very compatible physically and have similar ‘drives’. Or it could be that they have made sure to work on that area, to never neglect it and always make sure they make the time and effort for it.
If you’ve read this far, the chances are that for you, this area isn’t as good as it used to be, or it was never as good as you wanted it to be. Again, ponder the question in the title of this article – is the lack of physical intimacy in your marriage a contributing factor or a symptom of the state of the marriage itself? The answer to this question is key to yourself and your partner moving forward.
