Lack of intimacy is a common issue in many marriages from "summary" of The Sex-Starved Marriage by Michele Weiner Davis
It's no secret that many marriages suffer from a lack of intimacy. The emotional and physical disconnect between partners can create feelings of loneliness, frustration, and even resentment. This issue is more common than most people realize, and it can have a profound impact on the overall health and happiness of a marriage. When intimacy is lacking, couples may find themselves feeling more like roommates than romantic partners. They may avoid physical contact, stop communicating openly and honestly with each other, and lose the sense of connection that is so essential to a strong and healthy relationship. Over time, this can lead to feelings of isolation and a breakdown in trust and intimacy. There are many reasons why intimacy may be lacking in a marriage. Stress, busy schedules, unresolved conflicts, and even medical issues can all play a role in creating distance between partners. Additionally, cultural and societal norms around sex and intimacy can contribute to feelings of shame or inadequacy, further complicating the issue. Addressing a lack of intimacy in a marriage requires open and honest communication, a willingness to explore and address underlying issues, and a commitment to rebuilding trust and connection. Couples may need to seek out therapy or counseling to work through their issues and find ways to reconnect emotionally and physically.- Overcoming a lack of intimacy in a marriage requires both partners to be willing to put in the effort and work together to rebuild their connection. By acknowledging the issue, seeking support, and being open to change, couples can begin to rebuild their intimacy and create a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.
