Sexless Marriages and Separate Bedrooms: Can Love Survive the Distance?
It’s something no one really talks about. I mean, sure, you hear whispers. But when it’s happening in your own marriage, it feels like you’re the only one. A sexless marriage. Separate bedrooms.
Is this what love turns into after years together?
Can it survive?
These are the questions that keep you up at night, alone in a bed that once felt shared but now feels empty.
What Is a Sexless Marriage?
First things first. What exactly is a sexless marriage?
Well, according to research, it’s defined as a marriage where couples have sex less than 10 times a year.
That’s not a lot.
Some couples go months, even years, without any intimacy at all.
And the reality is — it’s more common than you think.
Studies suggest that nearly 15% to 20% of marriages fall into this category.
Yet, no one’s having this conversation.
No one’s talking about how the spark went out, or how the distance grew so big that you ended up sleeping in separate bedrooms.
