"Sex is not just a physical act; it is a spiritual, emotional, and relational glue that bonds couples together. When done in love and with understanding, it deepens connection and keeps marriage alive. But when mistakes are repeated, intimacy begins to fade, and couples can feel like roommates instead of lovers. In my years as a marriage Clinician, I have seen many couples who genuinely love each other but are secretly frustrated in their sexual lives."
"1. Using Sex as a Weapon When one partner withholds sex as punishment, to "teach the other a lesson" intimacy is destroyed. Sex should be a gift, not a weapon. Punishment belongs in prisons, not in marriages. 2. Lack of Communication About Sex Many couples never talk about their sexual needs. One partner suffers in silence while the other assumes all is well. Open, loving conversation about desires, timing, and comfort levels is key. Silence kills passion."
"3. Selfishness in the Bedroom When sex becomes one-sided, one partner focused only on their satisfaction - frustration builds. True intimacy is about mutual pleasure, not just "finishing the job." A selfish lover creates a wounded spouse. 4. Making It a Duty, Not a Delight When sex is reduced to a marital obligation, couples lose excitement. It should not feel like a chore; it should be a celebration of love. Duty sex makes intimacy dry and mechanical."
Sex functions as spiritual, emotional, and relational glue that deepens connection when practiced with love and understanding. Repeated sexual mistakes erode intimacy and can turn partners into roommates despite continued love. Many couples secretly suffer sexual frustration because of recurring errors. Fifteen common mistakes that choke intimacy include using sex as punishment, failing to communicate about sexual needs, selfishness in the bedroom, treating sex like a duty, allowing pornography to invade the marriage, and ignoring emotional connection. Repair requires communication, mutual delight, and protecting emotional safety to restore passion.
