Lack of intimacy in marriage disorients a person’s emotions, even when sharing a bed and a life. You feel unseen, unheard, and unvalued by the person who promised to cherish you. There is a stinging ache in reaching out, only to be met with indifference or a turned back. Physically, you feel like roommates, transitioning from passionate lovers to mere co-parents and domestic business partners. A heavy, icy atmosphere takes over, where even the air feels cold and unwelcoming. Couples tend to stonewall each other and can go months or years without a loving human touch, a hug, or holding hands. They only converse about household chores, bills, schedules, and the children. They use the silent treatment as a weapon or a shield to avoid vulnerability—reacting with anger or excuses whenever the topic of closeness is brought up, and constantly policing their behavior to avoid triggering an argument or another rejection. Kenya Marriage Counselling helps couples achieve healthy communication. By helping partners understand the levels of communication and embrace their unique separateness, we guide them in rebuilding true intimacy.
