You probably brought them little gifts and told them how much they meant to you. You planned date nights and excursions. Now you can hardly remember the last time you planned a special date night for your partner.
Why did you stop? Because you got comfortable. You stopped treating each other like you were special. You stopped dating each other. Surprise them when they least expect it — it can even be with something like their favorite latte during lunch hour or picking up dinner on your way home.
Mind-blowing, passionate relationships take work , and you must be willing to put in the time and commitment it takes to not only survive a sexless marriage but see it thrive. Can a sexless marriage survive?
Yes, but only if you communicate with the one person who can truly help you turn it around: your partner. Have you brought this issue up with them? Or have you been simmering in silence, letting your resentment build and further relinquishing any hope you have of rekindling your passion? Chances are, your verbal and emotional communication is lacking, which has led to your sexless marriage. Did something occur that eroded your ability to speak freely with each other like you used to?
Is it something serious like infidelity, or are you both coping with new stresses at work or at home? Commit to speaking up and asking them how they think and feel about the situation.
Wading into this territory with them is frightening but necessary. Yet being willing to be vulnerable is the only way to create true intimacy in a relationship — and a sexless relationship is about intimacy more than it is about sex. It is vital to remember that your relationship changes over time.
The secret is to continue reassessing your physical and emotional needs together, as a loving unit, and making adjustments as necessary. A sexless marriage can survive, but a healthy, successful marriage embraces changes and continues innovating in the relationship.
Most professionals agree that a sexless marriage is one in which sex occurs less than once a month or less than ten times per year. While once a month would not technically be considered a sexless marriage by this measurement, a more important barometer is whether or not the lack of sex bothers you. A sexless marriage can last a lifetime — if you let it. Rather than asking whether a sexless marriage can survive, ask yourself: Do you want it to?
Yes — staying faithful is essential to any marriage.
