Is it normal to live in a sexless marriage?

Depends.It depends

Yes, some marriages have little or no sex, and that isn’t automatically a problem. What matters most is whether both partners feel okay with it or whether the difference is causing hurt or disconnection.

There’s no single amount of sex a marriage is supposed to have. Stress, health, medication, parenting, changing desire, or simply being content with less sex can all play a part. Some couples are happy with a sexless marriage; others feel lonely or rejected by it.

If it’s bothering you, it’s worth talking about gently and honestly—not as a demand, but as a conversation about what each of you wants and misses. You can also explore other kinds of closeness, and consider couples counseling if you’re stuck in the same painful loop.
