Sailing "In my sitch, we have never stopped ML. I'm not really sure how this affects our whole R right now. What I do want is to make it more intimate. The book Passionate Marriage is about this aspect."
Rose "Speaking from a woman's perspective women may continue to ML to feel a connection. We tend to ML for emotional reasons-it can be to fill a painful void in our spirit like it can be to show love to our spouse. That being said we can also sometimes just want to, just like many men, we need a physical release."
I agree with Rose, Sailing. I think men need to ML to feel connected, but a woman needs to feel connected to ML, if that makes any sense to you. If I were you, I would continue to enjoy this aspect of your R, as it I think it shows that your W still has a lot of feelings for you. MWD advocates this too. Maybe you can find more ways to make it romantic if you feel you need more intimacy.
