In Singapore, you don't need a Prince Charming, kids or a lot of
money for your marriage to last. Three women reveal what works for
them, including one who said that sex doesn't play a big role in
her marriage.
"Our marriage is great despite the fact that sex isn't really a
priority," says Lisa, 32, a brand manager, who's
been married to Ben, 35, a lawyer, for seven years.
In the interview with Simply Her, she said:
"Magazines often tell you that a couple needs to have sex often for
their marriage to be healthy, which isn't true in reality. My
opinion of how much sex a married couple's life should have has
changed since I got married seven years ago. A couple can lead a
very happy and fulfilling married life without much sex.
"We only have sex once every two to three months because we don’t
have time. We have talked about our lack of sex and tried to do it
more, but it’s just not very important to us.
“I think couples need to realise that they can’t have it all. It’s
in our culture to work long hours, so although you have less time
together, it makes you better appreciate the time that you have
together.
"For us, sex is just another activity; it’s not a priority. We have
more of a spiritual connection, rather than a physical one. We
would rather go out for a late movie or take a dip in the pool when
we have time. Doing things together as a couple is good
enough.”
