5. There’s no intimacy in your marriage

Intimacy is an expression of affection and a way to nurture connections. If you haven’t had intimacy with your wife for a long time, that’s a clear sign your marriage is in trouble.

Many married couples tend to overlook the importance of physical intimacy, but that’s usually one of the first signs of divorce.
