I'm writing this in reply to another person who said the Monk's had an "asexual" relationship & to another who questioned whether or not he was intimate with his wife. Maybe you all don't watch the show enough to understand that when Monk & Trudy were married he has OCD tendencies but with the love & compassion his wife showed him helped him to handle most of fears in a healthy manner on daily basis. It's alluded to in other episodes that he use to laugh, joke, shake hands, basically a normal guy. Trudy's death threw him to an extreme depression & caused him to regress immensely! Sharona helped him to get out enough to be a PI & Natalie picks up where Sharona left off & it isn't until he meets Trudy's daughter that he's able to be the man he was with Trudy because (even though she's an adult) he feels like he's a father & has Trudy back, or a part of her. Sorry for the rant but it needed to be said.
