A marriage needs the nourishment of sex life. Sex life can enhance the feelings between husband and wife and stabilize the foundation of their relationship. According to surveys, couples can generally have a normal sex life at the beginning of their marriage, or the marriage is initially based on attraction between the sexes. However, as time goes by, the trivialities and troubles of daily life lead to less and less sex life, and some people even stop having sex altogether, gradually moving towards a sexless marriage. Can a sexless marriage still have feelings?
A sexless marriage refers to a situation where neither spouse has any underlying medical conditions or accidents, but they haven't had sufficient sexual intimacy for over a month. As for whether there's still affection in a sexless marriage, that depends on the individuals. Deep down, there should still be affection; otherwise, why wouldn't the relationship end? It's just that the busyness of life often leads to neglecting one's partner. It can also be understood as a habit—getting used to having a partner, living like this every day, without consciously paying attention. Perhaps if the two suddenly separated, it would feel like something is missing. This is the harm caused by habit; many things that should be passionate become routine, turning lovers into family. The passion between family members gradually diminishes, while the affection between lovers remains strong.
Therefore, whether a sexless marriage still has feelings depends on the psychological state of the two people at the time. If they are just too busy with life to pay attention to the people and things around them, it is not that there are no feelings, but that they treat it as a habit. However, if they are just disgusted and feel that the person is dispensable, then there are no feelings. The previous feelings have been slowly worn away by the trivialities of life.
Sexual life plays an important role in a marriage. Without the support of sexual life, the two people may feel psychologically distant. This is a knife that hurts people. It's not that there is no sex, but that there is no communication. Couples without sex life will probably not talk much either. They basically don't communicate. Then the marriage has no meaning.
