Can Women in a Sexless Marriage Stay Positive-Happy - Can it Be Done?


All long term relationships go through the "honeymoon phase" and this is great. But when the sex starts to become less frequent many people may see this as a real problem, especially if one partner has a high sex drive. However, for some couples, living in a sexless marriage doesn't have to spell disaster. So with this is mind, can women in a sexless marriage stay positive/happy? Read on to find out more.

In order to answer this question, it is a good idea to find out why a lack of physical intimacy within a marriage happens. The first thing that people think, when their partner doesn't want sexual contact, is that they don' t fancy them anymore, or that they have found somebody else. However on most occasions this is generally not the case. One of the main reasons for lack of intimacy in men is changing dynamics. Over time relationships change. From the onset of children, to working long hours, to settling into a daily routine and even having to contend with daily money worries such as mortgages and bills. All these things can, and will, have an impact on his sexual libido. So for a woman to stay positive and happy in a sexless marriage it takes a special kind of person with a strong set of beliefs, who is willing to make changes for the sake of her relationship.

For a woman to be positive/happy in a sexless relationship, the act of physical intimacy has to be replaced by something greater. It is possible for a woman, who is faced with this situation and is determined to make it work, to change her thought processes to replace her sexual needs. For example, when you have a couple who are on the same wavelength, ie, they tend to know what each other is thinking before they say it, then you can say that this couple are "in tune" with each other and are on an equal emotional plane. This can become quite powerful in itself, and in some cases, emotional intimacy can, and often does, go way beyond that of physical type. When this happens the reward can be far more gratifying. This is something that can be taught, but it takes a strong person who is willing to do whatever it takes, even if this might mean forgoing sexual contact and intimacy, to keep their marriage alive. Couples who develop this level of emotional intimacy are able to create a really strong marriage bond that can make a lack of sexual intimacy seem almost insignificant.
