‘I just want hugs’ : Reddit Thread Reveals Widespread Lack of Emotional and Physical Connection in Relationships

Marriage is so much more than a legally binding contract or an expensive dinner. It's a glorious milestone that marks the end of our wild dating lives and the beginning of our forever home. It's the ultimate test for teamwork, resilience, and partnership. 

But here's the thing, just because you tied the knot, does not mean you should stop putting in effort. Maintaining both a physical and emotional connection in a marriage is the ultimate key to success. Sure, it requires constant care, attention, and dedication but the long-term result is worth every second. Surprise each other with secret dates, flirt with each other shamelessly, and remember - there's no harm in getting down and dirty to keep things interesting. 

And if you don't, well, let's just say we have a huge Reddit thread to serve as an example of what you could have to look forward to. A long marriage of craving affection, validation, and connection. Hard pass.
