What Matters Is That You’re Both Happy

The most important thing when it comes to any issue in your marriage, is that you are able to sit down and communicate openly and honestly with one another about anything and everything.

If lack of sex is becoming an issue in your marriage, talk about it. Don’t accuse or fight – simply listen to each other, and then take your turn to explain your feelings.

What you do next really depends on what you both need. Perhaps you need to set aside more time for intimacy, when you know you can’t be interrupted. Or, perhaps you need to focus on non-sexual intimacy such as touch, kissing, hand holding, massage, or emotional intimacy.

Whatever you do, make sure the end result is that you both feel happy with your sex life, however that looks. What other couples are doing doesn’t matter – but your shared emotional well being and sense of intimacy, does.
