Is it normal for physical intimacy to change after marriage?

Yes. Physical intimacy can naturally change during different stages of married life. Changes may occur because of stress, pregnancy, children, work, health, age, emotional circumstances or changes in daily responsibilities.

What Islam teaches

Islam recognises marriage as a relationship involving affection, mercy and mutual rights. Spouses should treat one another with kindness and consideration.

What you can consider

Do not immediately interpret a change as rejection. Talk openly and respectfully, understand each other's circumstances, and work together on maintaining closeness.

Qur'an 30:21; Qur'an 4:19.
