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. In other words, intimacy is a measure of the deep emotional connection that a husband and wife are supposed to have in a healthy married relationship.

Like emotional intimacy, physical intimacy is the glue that holds a marriage together, and a lack of it can mean the spark is gone, which leads to loneliness and isolation.

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