5 Factors That Make Couples Lose Interest After Marriage

JAKARTA - Not a few couples feel a significant change in their relationship after marriage. Previously, the strong interest felt slowly shifted, as life together began to be filled with new routines and responsibilities.

What used to trigger curiosity and passion, now feels no longer the same. An initially intense relationship can turn flat if it is not managed with emotional awareness and attention.

This change is often the beginning of the tenuous relationship, both emotionally and physically. The closeness that used to feel natural can be replaced by distance and saturation.

Citing the marriage consultant's statement, Dr. Sharma in the Hindustan Times report, there are a number of factors that explain why the attractiveness between couples can fade after the wedding takes some time.

1. Lack of privacy

In some cultures, there is still an assumption that married couples do not need privacy. In fact, the need for private space is very important to maintain individual identity and prevent saturation in relationships.

2. Loss of romantic moments

After getting married, couples tend to spend more time together in the context of family or social, not in an intimate atmosphere together. Dating activities that used to be done were rare, so romantic nuances faded.

3. Performances that are neglected at home

Often, someone only dress up or wears the best clothes when they are outside the house. On the other hand, in front of a partner it looks modest. This without realizing it can reduce physical interest in each other.

4. Decreased physical and fitness conditions

Many people maintain a strict diet and exercise before marriage, but after marriage, this habit is abandoned. Lack of energy and fitness not only has an impact on health, but also on physical attraction in the eyes of the couple.

5. Loss of curiosity

Physical interests are not only about appearance, but also related to curiosity towards partners. When the mystery and dynamics in relationships disappear, the appeal also fades. Maintaining curiosity and getting to know your partner more deeply is very important so that the relationship remains alive.
