So, here it is: No, a sexless marriage can’t survive. And before you start lining up your counterarguments, let’s cut to the chase—there are only a few exceptions to this rule. Maybe your husband has a medical condition that’s put “little Joe” out of commission, or maybe he’s Stephen Hawking-level brilliant, in which case, there’s a different kind of connection at play.
The Harsh Reality of a Sexless Marriage
But if you’re expecting your relationship to thrive while you’re depriving your spouse of one of life’s simplest pleasures, then buckle up, because it’s not going to be pretty. Want to turn your husband into a raging bull dripping testosterone from his eyeballs? Go ahead, deny him sex. Or if you’re curious about how your wife suddenly got that big promotion at work, maybe take a closer look at who she’s really impressing. The reality is, no couple survives without sex—it’s just human nature. And when they don’t get it at home, guess what? They’ll look elsewhere.
Sex: It’s as Essential as Chocolate (Maybe More)

If you’re both in good health, the question shouldn’t be how to survive a sexless marriage, but rather, how to fix it. Because, spoiler alert, the odds are not in your favor. Seek help from a specialist before things spiral out of control.
The Statistic You Don’t Want to Hear
Here’s a fun little statistic to brighten your day: In about half of marriages, it’s the wife who starts saying no to sex. She’s too tired, it’s raining, the stars aren’t aligned—whatever the excuse of the day is. Eventually, the husband gets fed up. Fast forward to divorce court, and suddenly, the same woman who couldn’t be bothered to have sex with her husband is now single, raising two kids alone, working two jobs, and—surprise!—swiping on Tinder. She’s hooking up with random guys twice a week without even making them wash the dishes first. Funny how that works, right?
Don’t Let Your Marriage Become a Statistic
So, to answer the burning question: No, a sexless marriage isn’t going to make it. If that’s where you’re at, it’s time to stop pretending everything’s fine and start figuring out how to turn things around before you end up another statistic—swiping right and wondering where it all went wrong.
