Intercourse is an important part of marriage. If it is not happening, the couple should address and work together to facilitate it. An appropriate marriage therapist or counsellor may also assist. It is not selfish for a spouse to seek sexual needs from their lawful partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Both husband and wife require emotional connection, kind treatment, safety, respect, love and loyalty.
