Sex is an important part of a couple's relationship, but it's not the only foundation. Can a marriage last long when sex is absent from the relationship?
A sexless marriage is when the couple has little or no sex in the marital relationship. This condition can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as physical disorders, psychological problems, life stress, etc. In modern society, with the acceleration of people's pace of life and the increase of pressure, the phenomenon of sexless marriage is gradually increasing.
The permanence of sexless marriages**
Communication and understanding: In a sexless marriage, couples need to pay more attention to communication and understanding. Strengthen the strength of your marriage by communicating openly and honestly about each other's feelings and needs, and finding other ways to meet each other's emotional needs.
Common interests and goals: In addition to sex, couples can develop common interests and goals, increasing their tacit understanding and closeness. This can make up for the lack of sex life to a certain extent, making the marriage more fulfilling and beautiful.
Professional helpIf a sexless marriage is due to physical or psychological problems, couples may consider seeking help from a medical professional. By ** and improving these problems, it is possible to return to a normal sex life and thus save the marriage.
Mr. Zhang and Ms. Li have been married for many years, and due to their busy work and life pressure, their sex life has gradually decreased to almost nothing. At first, both parties felt that it was a temporary phenomenon, but over time, sexless marriage took a serious toll on their relationship. Later, they decided to sit down and communicate openly and seek help from a professional counselor. With the counselor's advice, they begin to try lifestyle changes, reduce stress, and develop common interests. After a period of hard work, their relationship gradually improved, and although sex was still infrequent, both partners were able to accept and understand each other's needs.
Relevant Regulations. Civil Code of the People's Republic of China: The Civil Code does not directly provide for sexless marriage. However, it emphasizes the need for couples to be faithful, respectful and caring for each other, which provides a legal basis for dealing with sexless marriages.
Relevant provisions of the Marriage Law: The Marriage Act stipulates that husband and wife have the obligation to support each other. In a sexless marriage, even if there is a lack of sexual activity, the spouses still need to fulfill other maintenance obligations, such as moral support and financial support.
Judicial Interpretation and PracticeIn judicial practice, when handling cases involving sexless marriages, the court will comprehensively consider factors such as the emotional status of the husband and wife, the degree of influence of sex life on the marriage, and whether the parties have the willingness and ability to improve. If a sexless marriage has caused a breakdown in the couple's relationship that cannot be repaired, the court may grant a divorce.
There is no set answer to whether sexless marriages can last. It depends on the couple's emotional foundation, communication skills, and willingness to work together to improve their marital status. When faced with a sexless marriage, couples should keep an open mind, actively seek solutions, and seek professional help if necessary. At the same time, the law also provides certain guarantees and support for dealing with the problem of sexless marriage.
