It has been observed that intimacy in marriage can sometimes get lost in the daily grind of work, taking care of kids and other activities that take away from intimacy in marriage. That sometimes you forgot your obligation/s to your partner.
This is not a good sign for the couple because losing intimacy in marriage can result in marriage problems and unwanted marriage stress.
Intimacy is something that is strongly affected by how married couples deal with each other. While intimacy in marriage is the bond that keeps both the persons close and attentive to each other’s needs.
Yes, sometimes intimacy in a relationship is hindered by someone's fear of being at risk by opening themselves up to be both emotionally and physically intimate with their partner.

Its very important in a relationship especially for a married couple without this indifference will rise inside the relationship that may result into argument or separation. Couples should become familiar with each other since they will spend their lives together for as long as they are married.

Yes, intimacy is important, ladden with passion. I have been with my wife for 30+ years now. We have had 5 kids and have grandchildren. I say I love you every day, and intimacy is like ...yes we are still young.

You are right, and I agree with you. As matter of fact, after 10 years or more, married couple might lose their sparks of intimate, and they might end up keep the distance, and no longer want to get that feeling as they were dating. I observed from my relatives, and other couples as well. Rarely, they keep such intimate sparks going on. I guess if you love someone so much, this spark might still linger.

That's true, we should always maintain the intimacy in our marriage.
Amidst our hectic schedules we should always try to have time to be alone with one another. 
See to it that , after all the children have been attended to in the evening, you should also have time alone for each other, sharing stories of the day's event and having some intimate moments.
Lock the door and warn the kids to go to sleep and not disturb you anymore with not important concerns.

I agree with you, that sometimes with the hectic lives we all lead, and with children under our feet and work related stresses, that one of the first things to leave a marriage is the intimate times....
But intimate times does not necessarily involve making love, intimate times can be just going for a quiet walk with your partner, or having a romantic dinner, or even just sitting together on the lounge and having a heart to heart talk...
If more marriages/relationships too the extra effort to do these things despite what else is going on in their lives, then there would definitely be less breakup in the family
