When couples struggle with physical intimacy after waiting until marriage in Islam

My husband and I agreed to wait until marriage and we both felt so confident about our choice, but now that we're married the physical intimacy feels more awkward and disconnected than we imagined it would, and we don't know how to talk about what we're both experiencing without feeling like we're criticizing the path we chose together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The sacred intention of halal courtship has created an unexpected gap between spiritual readiness and physical connection that both partners feel but neither knows how to bridge.
