I'm sure your dh is a happy bunny because you have fallen for one of the great male-perpetuated myths of "how much men need sex". Your ignorance is his gain so I'm sure you have a happy home set up because he is happy with the frequency of sex and you are blissfully ignorant.
In fact you spout another piece of claptrap which is convenient to men.
Having sex with you shows how much I love you......... No, it just shows that he's in the mood for sex and finds your body sufficiently attractive to go ahead with that urge.
Being close and connected is mainly about anything other than sex, it's about shared mutual interests, a history of shared experiences to recall and understanding how each other ticks, basically really liking each other as best friends of the opposite sex and wanting to spend time in each other's company.
If my dh is tired, which has become more often as he has aged, he basically ignores all household jobs that need attending to, leaving me to mow the lawn, fix the light, do all the child related activities and then I am tired when he has rested up by snoozing on the settee and having lie-ins at the weekend. I'm sorry but I'm then not in the mood for sex because of his selfishness in prioritising his need for extra rest over mine. When I am fully recovered from my double duties I might consider fancying him but quite frankly, selfishness is very unsexy and shows no closeness/connection which is very disappointing considering how long we've been together. I don't want our marriage to spiral downwards so to counteract his self-centredness as he ages/tires I am looking at using a gardening service to get the lawn mowed each week and increasing the number of hours cleaning/ironing we pay for each week.
Sometimes it's about using your brain to sort out the situation rather than your body.
