I’m a relationship expert and this is the biggest sign your marriage is dying

A marriage counselor has named the one sign that the spark in a relationship is starting to fizzle out.

Rick Netshiozwi said that couples who stop touching each other will definitely break up eventually.

However, not everyone was convinced; many said they are happily married to a partner they don't often hug or kiss.

β€œOne of the biggest signs of a dying marriage is when there is no contact in a relationship,” Rick said in a TikTok clamp.

'You don't hug each other anymore, the kissing isn't the same or it doesn't happen as often as it used to.'

The relationship guru said that those who sleep strictly on their own half of the bed and never even touch feet with their partner are headed for a breakup.

Rick said a lack of touch is a “clear sign” that a marriage is heading to its “deathbed,” as it is a crucial part of any loving relationship.

β€œOne of the ways to see that that touch is really gone and really gone is that as soon as you touch each other as a married couple, a strange energy flows,” he said.

“That's a symbol that will tear you apart faster than lightning strikes a tree on a stormy day.”

Rick's clip was viewed more than 826,600 times and left many in the comments divided.

“It's a clear sign that we all want a good night's sleep,” one viewer joked.

'We're both in our fifties. We sleep in different bedrooms because we both snore. I can't remember the last time we kissed. 35 years so far,” wrote another.

Or maybe just reached a new level of comfort and the next step in marriage: 30 years. We've all done that now that we're ready to go to bed,” a third replied.

But many agreed with Rick's sentiments and shared details about their own successful relationships.

'My husband still makes me melt, even after ten years of marriage. I still get the butterflies when he comes home,” one woman said.

β€œMy marriage was like this and it almost died. We got through it,” replied a second.

'My husband feels the love when I kiss him, even if he is fast. We always kiss each other goodbye,” wrote a third.
