Physical and emotional intimacy is often crucial to the long-term survival of couple relationships. But levels of desire change as relationships develop and sex in a committed relationship can ebb and flow.
This is especially true for relationships where one or both partners have multiple sclerosis. MS and the symptoms of the condition can affect how you feel about yourself, how you relate to your partner and how you feel about sex and intimacy. If you can explore these emotions, it could help lead to deeper understanding and ways of maintaining a fulfilling intimacy within your relationship.
