Sex in the Marriage
Sex in itself can be emotionally complex. Sex in the context of marriage is one of the most common reasons for couples to seek out marriage counseling. Not enough sex, too much sex, sex with someone else, sex with no one else, the issues are both personal and varied.
Sex in Marriage
One of the most popular complaints that comes up during marriage counseling is the absence of sex in a marriage. Sex fulfills many roles in a marriage, but it is usually the role of physical and emotional connection that most people are referring to when they discuss the disconnect in the relationship, not the act of sex itself. Physical connection in relationship is vital to the emotional and physical health of both persons in the couple.
The chemical that your brain emits during sexual activity is the same chemical emitted whenever you hug, kiss or caress someone, so obviously the intensity of the passion is not the only reason for that connection. It is the physical connection in all its forms.
This is often explained as a “mystery“ by couples experiencing a resurgence in their physical connection, but it really isn‘t a mystery at all.
Lack of Physical Connection
If you and your partner have no physical connection left and are living like adult siblings, you may be surprised at the difference a few, small touches can make towards rebuilding that bond between the two of you.
Marriage counseling can help you understand the importance of taking small steps in reestablishing a physical connection and help rebuild a framework for your relationship.
