I've always maintained an idea that if you can't keep it fresh in the bed room, then the rest of your relationship has potential to fade as well. This is in regards to LTRs. It doesn't have to be intercourse every night, but it has to something, and it should be priority to do attempt it nightly by both partners. At least 20 to 30 min.
This sounds strange. Do you really think -in effect- scheduling intimacy is going to foster a better relationship? Love doesn't work that way.
If a partner told me he expects 30 minutes of "something" each night, I'd be turned off.
I understand the way I wrote it sounds like I am requesting a specific time frame, I'm not. But if a couple days goes by and we haven't taken a few minutes to ourselves to shut out the rest of the world, I'm going to be concerned.
Most of us fall into habits. There are good habits, and there are bad habits. All sort of things can come up with cause a person to say, eh, I'm not up for it tonight. And maybe the next night, and maybe the next night? Don't you feel you owe it to yourself and your partner to be able to express what's going on? This time provides that.
With my first wife, this happened naturally, and I found it to be a very valuable benefit to the strength of the bond we had. Seems silly not to practice something so sensible for a stronger partnership.

If it happens naturally, I don't see it as an issue, but you can't force something like that.
Personally, I'm not big on talking when there's nothing to say, so I'm probably not your target audience. I prefer to go with the flow.

No one is in my target audience at the moment.
That time isn't for just sharing or just venting, or just sex, or just anything. It is an exercise to be practiced with the intent to keeping things healthy. It should be a natural thing, I agree. It typically is when a relationship is new and fresh, but what about later? This is a good barometer to assess that.
I thought I was the only one and is this a major problem for most married couples. If so, why do women lose their sexual drive.
It is not a major problem for most married couples, only those with other problems in the relationship. If your wife won't have sex with you, you need to find out why and work on your relationship together.

I'd agree with this. Well - unless there are medical reasons or things like that.
Okay. Yeah I'll write that one down and stick it in my back pocket.
Bottom line...you can't force someone to have sex. If she is denied sex, she isn't getting it. If he is denied sex, he isn't getting it either.
this is why people lower standards, then we have posts about why do men get with women they are not really into
