Physical intimacy is a critical element of any successful marriage. Even if a couple gets along well and enjoys spending time together, without that physical intimacy, the couple really just become great friends and roommates. And although I loved my college roommate with all my heart, it certainly wasn’t a marriage.
So what causes a couple’s sex life to suffer? There are a multitude of issues and couples really have to examine all angles and be honest if they want to get to the root of the problem. And, to be honest, for some couples, sexually intimacy was an issue before they even got married but they chose to ignore it, hoping that the wedding would change things.
The physical and emotional intimacy that occurs as the result of a healthy sex life is undeniable. That’s exactly why couples shouldn’t ignore things if it seems like the intimacy is fading. When one area of your marriage suffers, it begins to leak into other areas of your relationship. This is typically the case when you are encountering any marital problems—ignore them and they tend to become bigger problems.
Here are 7 reasons why your marriage may be suffering. Some of them are not difficult to address while others may require help from a third party, like a counselor or a medical professional.
