Can a Relationship Survive Without Physical Intimacy?

This question sparks a lot of debate. 

Physical intimacy, like cuddling, kissing, and sex, is important in many relationships. It’s one of the ways partners express love, build connection,yh and maintain closeness. But for others, emotional intimacy, communication, trust, and companionship are the foundation and that can be enough.

Relationships can absolutely survive (and thrive) without physical intimacy if both partners are on the same page.  obThat’s the key. However, problems arise when one partner craves intimacy while the other doesn't. In such cases, unmet needs can lead to frustration, resent ument, or infidelity.

So, can a relationship survive without physical intimacy? Yes—but only when there's open communication, deep emotional connection, and mutual agreement. At the end of the day, intimacy isn’t just physical; it’s also emotional, spiritual, and intellectual.

What matters most is finding what works for you and your partner.
