Question

I have been married for almost two years. My wife who I love her very much. We have a very good relationship however she generally refuses to get intimate with me. Please help.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

You state you have a good relationship with your wife. Use that opportunity to discuss your personal and intimacy concerns with her. Make her comfortable to express her concerns as well. Both of you should mutually explore avenues to overcome the difficulty.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
