Sexless Marriage

Sexless Marriage

If you find yourself in a sexless marriage the first question you need to ask yourselves is does that bother you? Some couples are quite happy to be in a sexless marriage. If you’re both happy with the situation and it works for you as a couple then why change it? Don’t let society dictate to you how your relationship should be.

The second thing you need to discuss is whether it’s acceptable for you both to have sex with other people instead. This can work for some couples but does work for others. It all comes down to personal preference.

The main thing you need to do if you find yourself in a sexless relationship is discuss it with your partner. Determine why you’re not having sex, whether either of you are bothered by it and whether either of you would like to have sex with other people instead. Once you have those three things out in the open you can then work on either making the relationship work or go your separate ways.

There are many reasons a couple may not be having sex including pregnancy, chronic fatigue, mental health issues, general health issues, lack of connection and affairs. It’s important to determine why then you can work on fixing it.
