The key to any long lasting successful relationship is communication. If you can communicate without wanting words, then there is nothing wrong. If you feel that you have to have words to communicate, then talk. If you get no reply, then find out why.
This is especially true if you previously have had great communication, but now feel that this is all in the past. Gossip and endless nagging is not effective communication, but neither is complete silence. If you cannot engage in talking with your mate about things which might be important to you as a couple, then the relationship is is either in serious trouble or is already over.

I guess if its enough for you then its enough. Would I call it companionship? No, wouldn't fit my definition. I don't see any point to having a marriage if its 'long distance'. Being married, to me, means partners in life...life is the little day to day things that happen, not periodic visits. Did you ever notice that you actually have much more to say to someone you talk to everyday than someone you talk to once a year?

Yes! To be able to sit with somebody, without conversing, means that person is very comfortable with you. But if you're not comfortable with that situation, then maybe you should talk with that person and explain how you feel. Maybe it's time to turn the TV off and start relating if you're uncomfortable. Myself, I find the greatest love is when conversation is not even necessary, as you trust that person, and do not feel it is necessary to talk, talk, talk all the time. That is when you have real love, when you are comfortable enough with a person NOT to have to talk to them all the time.

No conversation, or no anything? There's a whole lot that's missing here, like how long a marriage, how long this has been going on, whether it was precipitated by something or just evolved to that, whether there's still sex, so much....

You have to make yourself interesting to talk to get to know things he likes and pick a topic he loves and teach him what you love about life.... I remember reading in a book for school and it was saying do you like yourself do other ppl like you if not why should your spouse?
BTW this takes time and persistence.

I think that is pretty much standard for marriages or any long term relationship.

In that case its just a marriage of convenience or you're really just roomates.

If you feel comfortable with it, and he does too, I would think so.... but maybe, since your asking this question, your not satisfied with his "companionship"........just an observation ;)
