Intimacy

Some scholars interpret the maximum permissible separation between spouses (without intimacy) as four months. Studies suggest that couples should engage in sexual intimacy at least 52 times a year. Imam Al-Ghazali, in his book Ihya Ulum al-Din, advises that a husband should be intimate with his wife every four days.

I haven’t lost interest in you, nor have you lost your youthful charm. I don’t know what’s happening to me, but my thoughts weigh heavily on me every day. I’m battling with my mind and don’t know how to stop that beast from resurfacing or invading my thoughts. It’s something from 10 years ago, and I try not to dwell on it, but I know I’ve failed.

Happy Monday, my love. I’ll fetch you today.
