So you and your spouse have been married for quite some time now. You share a great understanding and compatibility, but there is one little problem: you no longer get cosy with each other in bed. Maybe it's been a while that you last had sex or you can't recall when you did it the last time. Sure the honeymoon phase is over, but does that mean you are in a sexless marriage?  If you have started to wonder you have turned into those old-timey sitcom couples who complain of lack of sex, you have come to the right place. Here's how to know if your marriage is legit sexless and how to turn up the heat again.

How to Say If You Are In a Sexless Marriage?

If you haven't had sex in a while, you must be wondering you have entered a new room where sex is off the table. But the term 'sexless' is very subjective.

Bring in some novelty into your actions. Like every other thing in life, it is only natural to get bored of sex when you do the same over and over again.

It always helps to talk it out and figure out a game plan than to wait around and hope things will get back to square one.

In the end, remember that no amount of sex is the right amount of sex. You should consider whatever feels good to you and your partner rather than comparing your sex life with your peers.
