Abstract

Intimacy is one of the most important aspect in marriage. There are seven types of intimacy namely emotional intimacy, social intimacy, intellectual intimacy, sexual intimacy, spiritual intimacy, recreational intimacy, and aesthetic intimacy. From the existing phenomena, it is seen that there are many factors that could affect couples’ intimacy after having children. The aim of this research study is to explore the wife’s perception of intimacy in marriage after having children. This research was conducted in November 2020. Participants were searched by purposive sampling technique. Participants in this study were four young adult married women with children. In-depth interviews were conducted through Zoom and Whatsapp. The result of this study, it was found that there are changes in three out of seven types of intimacy which are emotional intimacy, sexual intimacy and spiritual intimacy. It can also be found that intimacy in marriage after having child will not diminish if the couple communicate and have efforts to spend some time together.
