@ultimateintimacy: Emotional intimacy matters because respect, loyalty, teamwork and kindness are what make sex feel like more than a physical act. They help us feel loved, safe and connected. The way you treat your spouse outside the bedroom matters inside the bedroom. But the goalpost can’t keep moving. If intimacy always has to wait until everything feels perfect, every disagreement is resolved and every stress is gone, you may find yourselves waiting forever. You can have a strong marriage and still have things to work on. You can be tired, have a messy house and face challenges while still choosing to flirt, initiate and make time for each other. That doesn’t mean ignoring hurt or pressuring your spouse. It means making room for affection and mutually wanted intimacy while you keep growing together. Emotional connection helps nurture sexual intimacy, and sexual intimacy can nurture emotional connection too. Both deserve attention if you want to keep your marriage passionate. Are you making room for connection, or waiting for a perfect moment that never comes? 🔥 Ready to get the passion back?

Still built around the woman. Needs to be built on the women has a responsibility to her man. And the man to his woman. Not the man builds the woman up enough to then her being well enough emotionally to then “maybe” give back to him. That’s “happy wife happy life” and is a biased woman based relationship.

Good point. I have noticed in this arena men are told they have to meet 100% of the wife’s emotional needs before any of their needs can be met.

It’s a behavior reward system. Man behaves perfectly, does everything she wants, plans, cares, and maybe he will get a reward.

If both spouses feel their needs aren't being met it's almost impossible to fix the problem. one side will always have to give in regardless of their feelings.

This is pretty good because it always seems like the woman doesn’t have any responsibility in the relationship. And you did a good job of making both people accountable.

#1 actions beget the feelings
#2 if the are rules around 1 areas of the relationship, it is guaranteed that there are rules around many other areas. one is the rule giver and the other is the rule follower (nevet the other way around)

Nobody’s required to be intimate if they don’t want to. If your wife doesn’t want you, work on why. If she still doesn’t, then leave. Why tf would anyone want a relationship wth someone that doesn’t want you. Life is short, be fulfilled.

Try try try to talk thru the issues including what each partner wants / requires in their relationship, and work together to satisfy both. If you have kids (as the man,) try your best, always be polite and kind, and try to wait until the kids are out of high school. If nothing works, at that point, again be kind and fair and leave. Work on yourself (or continue to work on yourself,) and try to find someone that he’s requirements that you can meet and she meets yours. Assuming you’re done with kids at this point, don’t marry but be a good human to others AND yourself.

Yes, if you can't say "I GET to do this thing for my spouse" then YOU are the problem. Not the other person. Fix is your frame of mind. You married this person. Take responsibility for the marriage. Each of you.

If a wife doesn’t want sex anymore she should allow her husband to get it elsewhere.

The door is barred,
the marriage bed is cold,
Yet tongue is sharp to strike the waiting ear;
Thy biting words a daily siege unfold,
To mock the very man thou shouldst hold dear.
Thou chidest how I step across the floor,And how I breathe,
or speak my quiet mind,
How ill I drive, how rude I chew, and more—In every rise and fall, a fault to find.
Thy constant scorn doth clip my manly wings,
Revenge for phantom slights I never made;
Yet when I bleed from all these bitter stings,Thou swear’st my honor never was betrayed.
"I do not crush thy pride," thy lips declare,
While leaving but a ghost to linger there.
