Maintaining your relationship is made up of many elements. Physical intimacy with your partner is one of the most obvious (and enjoyable) ways of strengthening your relationship. Sex has numerous benefits for our physical and emotional health. In addition, it is an opportunity to express our love and commitment to our partner's pleasure and well-being.
Sex is a sensitive barometer of an intimate relationship. Among healthy couples, not having sex is usually an indication of a conflict. And it doesn't necessarily have to be a big conflict. An accumulation of small problems or old, unresolved issues can often result in decreased desire.
Luckily, most of these are easily remedied. It might seem unrelated but the better we are at resolving conflicts in our relationships, the better our sex life might be.
Our emotional health also plays a big role in our sex lives. Most everyone knows that stress, among other issues, is a major player in decreasing sexual desire. Taking care of ourselves emotionally will benefit our sex lives as well.
Can a relationship survive without sex? Yes, but we all need to get our needs met in our relationships. If we are not getting what we need, problems in our relationship tend to grow. And sometimes people begin to look outside of their relationships to get their needs met.
This is of course terribly, and often irreparably, damaging. Sexual affairs should be avoided at any cost if you hope to keep your relationship.
No, having a good relationship is not solely dependent upon your sexual abilities. And sexual dynamos might not always make good partners. But if you are healthy and in a good relationship, nature generally takes it's course.
Take care of your emotional needs (like decreasing stress) and learn to resolve your disagreements without maintaining an ongoing conflict to allow a enjoyable and healthy sex life to grow.
The bottom line on sex is; have it. Live Well.
