A marriage without intimacy slowly loses its meaning, even if two people still share a roof
Intimacy is not only about s*x; it is about closeness, desire, touch, and emotional safety. It is the space where spouses feel chosen, wanted, and deeply connected. When intimacy disappears, distance grows quietly. Conversations become shallow. Affection feels awkward. Resentment replaces warmth.
Many couples think love alone is enough, but love without intimacy becomes friendship with responsibility. Marriage was never meant to be cold, silent, or distant. It was designed for connection, comfort, and shared vulnerability. Intimacy reassures both partners that they still matter to each other beyond duties and roles. Without it, loneliness can exist even in the same bed.
A healthy marriage nurtures intimacy intentionally, not occasionally. Because once intimacy is gone, the bond that separates marriage from mere partnership begins to fade, leaving two people together but emotionally alone.
