I thought of this topic while driving 20 miles form my home to buy a Futon. This article is again for married hubbers, seeking relationship advice from all nooks and corners
I had posted hub yesterday regarding the day today common issues and how we can do simple things to overcome it. Find it here: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-make-your-relatioship-sweeter-than-sweet
But when it comes to physical intimate relationship, all those items find back seat. Isn’t it?
Tell me, when both of you are in your moment of love, do you really think all those errors and conflicts or do you focus on the immense pleasure that you both are enjoying..! If answer is yes, then congratulations my friend, you and your spouse have a very healthy physical relationship and this makes a big bond of your love life.
Yes, healthy physical relationship makes a great fuel of your love life. Love between married couples is not merely soul and emotion, it has physical dimension too. Without anyone of the two parts, you love is incomplete and that is why you find problems after your marriage. I am not social science expert, but from my surroundings, from my friends I have learnt how well the life treats for those who have found pleasure from both faces of love. And those who have not, they keep feeling empty looking to fulfill.
Love is tender, love is sweet, and love is about being touched not just emotionally but physically.
Think of your friends who are your soul-mates too. Yes, soul-mates. Those at work and in your family whom you feel sharing a common topic and can enjoy chatting for hours on those topics. Come back and think about your spouse. He or she is the one who listens to any of your topics, provides a true reaction and in addition you have the gift to love each other physically. So my friend, physical love is as important as is emotional, and feel it from your inside. Give each part of your love relationship complete of yourself and do expect more out of it. If you indulge 100% and express in your true sense, believe me, your spouse is also ready to give oneself completely.
Final words, this article is not for those who are still beginners in love or are one track, This is for those serious couples who want to make difference to their own family lives and are looking ways to improve. This article is meant to bring that hidden desire out and make it expressive such that both of you can enjoy your heavenly trip to happiness.

I don't agree with this. The physical dimension is like the icing on the cake and generally, if the cake is good, there will be icing as well (sorry for the metaphor here) But there are lots of exceptions to this -- couples who find that they can express their love and actually have good marriages and relationships, without expression in what we might consider a full intimacy. I see this in my practice as a therapist all the time. What makes a relationship full and good is what the two people in a relationship believe and experience. What is right for the individual is what is healthy and good. That said a relationship without gentleness, generosity, kindness and affection is not a good one.
Marcia, I am in agreement with you that there are exceptions.
The article addresses the married couples and not live-in relationship.
A healthy physical intimacy creates a lot of connections that may not get created otherwise. However it is applicable to majority and exceptions can not be denied. Since you are therapist, you would come accross mostly those couples who need therapy and may have alike needs, however for normal healthier couples, the question of therapy is out if they follow simple healthy intimate relationship fulfiiling most needs of each other, physical intimacy being one important one of those.

Happy you mention this. Some people tend to forget the physical side of their relationship once they have been toguether for a long time. Personally I am terrified of a romantic relationship that ends up like a bother-sister relationship.
Healthy physical relationship are a must for love. Like you say, love between married couples is not merely soul and emotion, it has physical dimension too.
