Is it normal to have no intimacy in your marriage?
It can be normal for a marriage to have little or no intimacy, especially if both partners are comfortable with it. If one of you feels lonely or unhappy, it’s worth talking about what’s changed and what you each need.
There’s no single normal amount of intimacy in a marriage. Stress, health, parenting, changing desire, or simply being in a different season of life can all affect closeness—and some couples are genuinely content with little or no sex or physical affection.
The key question is whether it works for both of you. If one or both of you miss feeling close, try bringing it up gently and specifically: what kind of intimacy do you miss, and what would feel good to rebuild? Intimacy can mean affection, conversation, time together, or sex; it doesn’t have to be one particular thing.
