Why can intimacy decrease after marriage?

Intimacy can decrease after marriage for many reasons, including stress, tiredness, unresolved disagreements, financial pressure, health concerns, changes in routine, or reduced emotional connection. A temporary change does not necessarily mean that love or commitment has disappeared.

What Islam teaches

Islam encourages spouses to live together with kindness, affection and mercy. Marriage is described as a relationship in which spouses find tranquility and Allah places affection and mercy between them.

What you can consider

Discuss the issue calmly without blame. Make time for conversation and affection, address practical sources of stress, and seek qualified marital or professional counselling if the problem continues.
