Although sexless marriages may appear on be on the outside to most people unhappy and un fulfilling - for many couples living this life this is not so. These couples have learnt how to stay happy/positive in a sexless marriage by finding other ways to be intimate with each other.Most of the time it is not a subconscious decision - over time couples find that their sex life begins to decline due to varying reasons such as routine, caring for children, working long hours and lost libido. For these couples their relationship may be totally fulfilling in every other way - but there just is no or very little physical intimacy by the way of sex.

Intimacy between two people does not only come in the physical sense. There is also emotional intimacy - and this is how many couples manage to stay happy who are in sexless marriages and relationships. Emotional intimacy between two people can be very powerful and can overcome many obstacles in a marriage - including the issue of no sex.

Don't be engrossed in yourself. Thinking about other people and helping them out may do you more good than you can imagine. Give money or clothing to a charity whenever you can.Keeping a journal that lists things you are thankful for is a great idea. The truth is that you have a lot of things to be thankful for everyday. Losing a job may seem like the worst thing that can happen to you, but you can be thankful for having a roof over your head and food on the table, can't you? Similarly, you may not be on speaking terms with your mother, but you do have a loving husband and friends. Be thankful for the things you have, instead of worrying about things you don't. Write in your journal everyday and make sure to have a look at it whenever you are feeling down.

What are you grateful for,Keep a journal of things you are grateful for. Take the time each day to jot down what you have valued from your day or what you are thankful for.

It's nothing personal.People can often get into the bad habit of talking negatively. It can be aimed directly at you or simply be about a myriad of other things that are going on in that person's life. It's hard to face an onslaught of negativity, especially when you are the target of it. But remember, that this is their issue, not yours. If their criticism is unfounded, you can be sure that the complaints are probably just a way for the person to vent. Take a breath, put on a smile and tell yourself, "It's not me, it's them."

Reminisce.Think about times in your life when you have felt the happiest or most positive. Allow yourself moments to reminisce about these times and put a smile back on your face. Believe that more of these times can be created in your future."Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him" James 1:12

And of course, there was lots of snacks. My family and I were ready for the storm.
