I just wanted to add something about intimacy.
I'll try to keep it short too...
Originally, intimacy was related to the verb meaning "to know". That verb, to know, means "to uncover the nakedness".
That's why it is so important not to get confused when there are talks about intimacy, I think, and to be careful not to limit intimacy to uncovering the physical nakedness. Because the physical one, by itself, is really meaningless. If intimacy is limited to that level of "knowing", honestly, there is not much to "investigate", even though I know some would disagree with me :-)
When a couple is seeking to establish a truly deep relationship, the real nakedness to uncover in order "to know" the other person, is the nakedness of the soul. That's the missing piece in most relationships, because too often the physical attraction prevails over the other one.
So, if we look at it like that, and I am not an expert in relationships, it makes sense that "getting to know you" takes a whole new meaning and also a whole lot more time.
No matter how great sex might be in a couple, it's not what makes the relationship lasts. And having sex does not "fix" anything in a couple either. That's a myth. What makes a relationship last is having that other knowledge of the other, the deepest one and really, that's where the real nature of love in a couple has its center. That's where it connects to God.
So, if a couple gets to the point where they feel "disconnected", it has nothing to do with their physical relationship, how often or not, etc... They can be the greatest lovers and still be disconnected. It's that the real intimacy, the uncovering of the nakedness, the journey of truly knowing each other has been derailed and they are traveling on different tracks.
