» Feature Writer Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen - What makes it different from fear of commitment?


It amazes me that you can be married for literally decades, and still not be intimate with someone. I know of a couple who've been married for over 50 years and still haven't discussed a particular issue. She's been stewing about it for 5 whole decades, and never felt it was a good time to bring it up.

The commitment is there, the intimacy is not.

Any tips for initiating and sustaining intimacy? I know we have some really intelligent people out there.....
