Loveless or sexless marriage?
"It doesn’t matter what your present circumstances look like, today is a brand-new day, and God wants to do a new thing in your life and in your relationship with Him every day."
– Joel Osteen
Joel Osteen has always been my mentor and each day, I feel inspired with different encouraging words from him and his wife too. Here is a quote to start your day till the end. Good morning Lovelies ❤
Every day, we hear different stories of relationships and when you listen to some aspects, you feel shocked and it is what happens in this life we are in. There are marriages that both partners do not show love to themselves, some do not even make love with themselves and hearing the number of times some engage in sexual activity, you will be amazed. This life is full of mystery because each story in a relationship is something one keeps getting afraid of and do not want to enter into such. I still watched a video yesterday where a couple were being interviewed and the counselor asked the wife how many times she makes love with her husband and she said she has never made love with him since they got married. This of course wasn´t surprising to me because I have heard cases like this many times.
God, who created man and woman never said we shouldn´t be together because we are created to flourish and replenish the earth and this can´t be done without procreation. How then do we procreate if we do not love each other and have sex?
HOW WOULD A LOVELESS MARRIAGE LOOK LIKE?
To me, it would be disastrous, terrible and no joy in it. How do you expect me to be in a marriage with someone who doesn´t love me? At least, we would have studied each other before entering such contract together. The only way there wouldn´t be love is when the marriage is an arranged one by both parents and this would definitely not last because marriage without love won´t bring any commitment.
Love is one of the foundations based upon in marriage. When there is love, marriage would be sweet, but without love, the marriage turns sour. Staying with a partner with the covenant "for better for worse" and he or she doesn´t love you, there would be chaos in the home. There won´t be any feelings from such person to you and this definitely would bring about disaster in the home. Imagine seeing your friend whose partners is showing love to in your presence, it will bring inferiority complex, thereby making you to engage in relationship outside your marriage because you want someone to love you.
When there is no love, it makes the partner go into thinking that his or her companion is having other thoughts about him or her and this could bring problem especially psychologically. A loveless marriage will never be interesting or fun because both of you cannot enjoy yourselves.
HOW WOULD A SEXLESS MARRIAGE LOOK LIKE?
This is the important thing in a marriage. Marriage without sex is useless and there won´t be fun. Sex is so important that it brings an intimate relationship between both couple. Sex in marriage brings happiness to both parties. When there is no sex, how do we bring up children? If there is no sex, how do we communicate? Sex is an integral part of life that no one can do without. If there is no sex, the marriage lacks the ingredient to long lasting marriage life.
The marriage would go dry when sex isn´t available. This will make one of the parties go out in search of someone to satisfy their sexual desire and you know when this happens. it bridges the marriage and trouble is coming out. No one would ever want his or her partner to bring in a child out of wedlock. When there is absence of sex, things like this are bound to occur, thereby resulting in separation at the end.
SO WHAT DO I PREFER?
I can never be in a marriage with these two not present in there. I had rather not go into such because it will affect me in the bad way. I will not be happy in such marriage and there is possibility I look elsewhere. It is like being caged forever in the home. So, it is better I go for a marriage that has both love and sex. I want a partner who would love me and has so much interest in sex because I do 😎
Both ingredients are what makes marriage interesting. When your partner loves you, he or she would care for you. He or she would respect your feelings and emotions and try not to tamper with them. Sex in marriage has a lot of benefits. For companionship, for procreation. Sex is an avenue for intimate relationship which brings about emotional balance and the likes.
You need to watch out for these two especially because your marriage life would be superb when you aren´t deprived of any of these.
Thanks for reading and I do appreciate your constant support on my articles.

Very well written PrincessBusayo, as far as the content, it's hard to say, there are a lot of people in this world that have gotten to that point where they lose that spark. What happens after that depends on who they are and their upbringing and what they believe in. I'm glad to see that you are one of those people who knows what you want in your relationship to begin with. This post was obtained through Dreemport.
