A lot of times with no real physical contact (hugging/kissing/ect). Actually not touching like when handing something to her/me I can't really say.
Ouch!!!
Don't even get me started on botched vacations

I think part of the problem is the overemphasis of the "good for your marriage" idea. We don't keep TM because of the benefits, just like we don't eat only kosher because it's "cleaner"
True. But I do think most frum Jews do believe that TM is helpful overall to the health of their marriage just like they believe that Shabbos is good for their sanity.At least I do.
we should start a "war stories" thread
On average how many days per month is it allowed? You can't time it for honeymoon/vacation/special occasions?
When you try 12-14 days with zero touching period, while in the same city, let us know
Need to lock it from the single folk
AP dead or Obi dead?
Can you imagine how much less entertaining this would be without JTZ here? Also, JTZ -do you realize that for some here you are there main interaction with the non Jewish world? That's a serious weight to bear
100% serious here. It would not be a big deal. Is the biggest hurdle that you touch by accident?
But I do agree that disagreements had during the ~12 days that would be far smoother with just the ability to touch each other.
it definitely does something to reignite. how many of us haven't gone weeks during pregnancy without...
I don't know the main interaction in general, but quite possibly their main interaction in discussing these matters.
It's not that it's a big deal, but after 12-14 days it's still something that's quite special even many years into a marriage.

I'd believe main interaction in general for the majority of DDFers.
