When we hear the word “marriage,” we typically assume a close, intimate relationship. We envision a couple who finishes each others sentences, knows how the other likes their eggs cooked, and anticipates the others needs. This may be true in the beginning of the marriage, but too often, marriages lose this closeness over time. The couple becomes disconnected, personal details are forgotten, and the intimacy wanes.

But the fact is that a marriage needs intimacy in order to thrive. Intimacy is the substance which “glues” two people together and enables the marriage to grow and deepen.

What is Intimacy?

By definition, intimacy means a close, personal relationship or knowledge of someone or something. Marriage intimacy goes beyond knowing just your partner’s preferences and dislikes; it’s more than a familiarity with his routine and habits. When two people are able to share their innermost thoughts, feelings, beliefs and values–the most essential parts of themselves–without any kind of inhibition, then true intimacy is achieved.

Learning to Create Marriage Intimacy

Creating intimacy in your marriage is a skill that everyone should learn. It is essential in forging the connection between two people that is the cornerstone of a strong relationship. Here is a list of key components to creating that deep connection. Consider it a marriage guide to intimacy:

Attention–creating intimacy involves consistent attention, not only for one another, but for the relationship itself.

Respect–without respect for each other and the relationship,intimacy is impossible.

Communication–regular, healthy verbal communication is always an important factor in establishing openness, familiarity, and trust.

Trust–trusting your partner, and creating an environment where your partner can trust you, allows both of you to safely express your feelings.

Caring–showing your partner tenderness lets him know how important he is to you.

Honesty–saying and doing what is truthful and honest goes without saying in any relationship.

Acceptance–accepting each other’s personality quirks, bothersome habits, and even meddling relatives, will foster understanding between the two of you.

A marriage without the passion and intimacy of sexual intercourse may function and go on but it is missing such a vital component it is like having a leak that will eventually deflate the relationship until divorce looms or both partners become bitter and stuck in their sexless marriage. No intimacy in marriages is not as uncommon as you might think either with an estimated 18% of all married couples being classed as in a sexless relationship by having sex less than 10 times per year; that is a frightening statistic that can be compared to the extremely high divorce rate I am sure. How to survive marriage without intimacy: steps to creating the marriage intimacy you crave.

The causes of these passionless marriages is not always easy to track down, many people simply lay it down to a lack of physical attraction or boredom with each other. I find this hard to believe though as there are many married couples who even in old age are passionate and find each other attractive despite the advances of years. Why do some people keep that spark in their lives and others seem to lose their sex drive much to the frustration and humiliation of their partners?

What most experts will tell you is that a couple in a happy marriage with intimacy and passion have a level of communication that allows them to overcome problems in their lives and relationship that the couple living in a sexless marriage do not have. Communication is essential for uncovering the true reasons a person loses their sex drive, it is usually not a physical thing but an emotional burden they carry that could be related to stress, abuse, disappointment, depression, anxiety or a whole host of other issues that they cannot seem to articulate or sometimes do not even know they suffer from but it spills forth in a disinterest in sex.

What this means for those in a sexless marriage with no intimacy is that if the underlying cause of this rejection of your body were to be fixed you could gently coax the fires of passion back to a blazing furnace and keep it that way too! 50% of people divorce.
