Little gestures such as doing the dishes, sending a sweet text, giving one another little gifts, or planning quality time together taking out the trash shows your partner that you love them even when sex isn't involved and
sustains feelings of intimacy throughout the day.
The more we celebrate
sustained, non-sexual, sacrificial relationships in our society, the less people will
feel like the only way to experience love and
intimacy is in the context
of a marriage or a sexual relationship.
