Sexless Marriage Defined: What Is A Sexless Marriage?

sexless marriage defined : what is a sexless marriage?

How does a husband or wife know if they are in a sexless marriage?

Are you in a sexless marriage if you and your partner have sex once a month? Once every two months? Twice a year? What determines if a marriage is a sexless marriage?

Well, I hear other people waffling around this question without really answering it…so I am going to step out and tell you the answer plainly…

If you and your spouse do not purposely find a way to express yourselves sexually WITH each other at LEAST once a week…once every 7 days, THEN YOU ARE IN A SEXLESS MARRIAGE.

Now, I can hear gasps and whistles…I can see eyebrows rising…but here is the truth: married couples who are in a TRULY happy marriage…(one where BOTH the husband AND the wife are genuinely happy)…join together in sexual expression AT LEAST 2 – 3 times a week.

Even when happily married couples are separated…perhaps by business travel…or away caring for a family member in need of assistance…they STILL express their sexuality together over the phone or by video.

(Note: Typically, in a sexless marriage, there is one person who wants sex and one person who does not.  In the remainder of this article, I will be speaking to the person who does not want sex.  If you are the person who DOES want sex more often, then jump down to the resources listed at the bottom and check out those options.)

So, continuing on…you might say that you are truly happily married and you do not have sex 2 – 3 times a week.  Well, here is the first thing you should know: if your spouse was willing to tell the truth, HE OR SHE IS DEFINITELY NOT HAPPY WITH YOU!!!

But, let’s go a step farther than your spouse…

In all honesty, if you are not having sex 2 – 3 times a week…if you are not sexually expressing yourself with someone who wants you to express yourself with them and vice versa, then YOU ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT EITHER!

You can say you are…you can even vigorously assert and claim that you are…but the TRUTH is that you are lying to yourself and to others.

If you are the instigator of a sexless marriage, then anything that you say is nothing more than an excuse and a cover up.

I don’t care what you claim, NOBODY in their right mind starts into life with dreams of living a platonic, passionless, straight-laced, boring-but-safe-and-secure life.

NOBODY dreams of living their life with a friendly “roommate”.

NOBODY…and that includes you!

To illustrate, nobody is interested in watching a movie about two adult people living a nice, quiet, safe, secure, passionless, sexless life that’s void of all excitement.

Nobody wants to watch a movie about two dull, dreary people who get up in the morning…all civil and courteous and friendly in their short, shallow, information-only conversations…and then go to their jobs…only to come home and continue in the same monotonous pattern.

And, if you are not interested in watching a movie of your life, then you are NOT truly happy about your life…no matter what you say and no matter how much you try to deny it or deceive yourself.

In a similar vein, if you are a female, you have NEVER ONCE wanted to read a “romance” novel…or watch a soap opera…about some man and woman living a platonic, amiable, cordial, friendly, but non-intimate, sexless life together. Not once!

But, people always have their excuses…

They say, “Well, we would do more fun and exciting things if we had more money.

Baloney! You want to see some BORED people? Go to Las Vegas…Sin City…Fun Capital of the World…and walk into any Casino, and look at the faces of people playing the games and gambling with their money…and MOST of them will be the face of boredom.

How can that be? It is because excitement does not come from money. It does not come from a game. It does not come from being in a certain place.  It does not come from being with a certain person. Excitement comes from YOU being EAGER to open up your heart, mind, and body…and EAGERLY sharing it with somebody else who is also EAGER to lay out their heart, mind, and body to be shared with you.

And, when you do this within the God-approved, God-ordained structure of a private marriage relationship, that is when real excitement happens!

And, what better way to lay out hearts, minds, and bodies than to be intimate and sexual with your partner…and them with you?

The answer is that there is no better way. That is why God created sex for married people.

If yadi-yadi-blah-blah was a better way, God would have created yadi-yadi-blah-blah.  But, He didn’t! He created SEX!

The problem is, people let the fears, insecurities, and offenses they feel in relation to their self and/or their spouse BLOCK them from laying out their heart, mind, and body.

Or, they use their heart, mind, and body as a bargaining chip for usurping and retaining control over their spouse.

And the fact is, NEITHER of these will make you happy if you engage in them.

I promise you, if you are a husband or wife who habitually withholds sex from your spouse for weeks or months…if you are a husband or a wife who is forcing your spouse into a sexless marriage…then YOU are NOT a happy person.

So why would you do this?

Why would you even play a game where YOU lose twice?  (And you DO lose twice.  First, you lose out on the joy and excitement of intimacy now.  Second, you lose out when your spouse finally gets fed up with your game playing and divorces you or cheats on you.)

Why would you short-change yourself of satisfaction, fulfillment, enjoyment, and excitement?

It is for sure you would not let somebody else try to shortchange you of these things…so why would you do it to yourself?

And really, being a non-sexual person is an acute case of dishonesty. You are dishonestly cheating yourself…and you are dishonestly defrauding your spouse.

Another excuse…

It’s my spouse’s fault! He/She…

I am sure your spouse has their faults and wrong-doings…just as you do.  But, while you are condemning and judging your spouse…instead of opening your heart, mind, and body to them…while you are trying to spite them for whatever your reasons are…you are once again short-changing your own happiness.

The fact is, if you are not CONTRIBUTING to you and your spouse’s “environment”…if you are not being CONDUCIVE to an exciting relationship, then YOU are the block and the hindrance.

To emphasize that, if you are not ACTIVELY HELPING, SUPPORTING, AND ENCOURAGING your spouse to be successful with you…then YOU are the roadblock to YOUR happiness in life.

And, you ARE hurting yourself more than you are hurting your spouse!

Yes it hurts your spouse when you won’t participate and cooperate and have a fun, exciting relationship with them…but they will EVENTUALLY get all of that with or without you.

So, wouldn’t it just be easier to decide that they CAN HAVE that fun, exciting, and sexual relationship WITH YOU instead of WITHOUT you?

Well, it would be…and here is exactly why…

If YOU make the choice to force your spouse into a sexless marriage, then time will eventually prove that YOU were the one who lost and suffered the most.

Now, I have no doubt that I have stirred your thoughts and feelings.  So, share them with me…take that first step towards opening your heart, mind, and body: Leave a Response
