BRIEF INSIGHT
The Gemara says that the day prior to Rosh Hashanah together with Rosh Hashanah count as fourteen days toward the thirty-day mourning period. The Rishonim ask that the Mishnah says that if a person dies at least eight days prior to the Regel the thirty day mourning period is repealed. If so what is the significance of the fact that by the end of Rosh Hashanah fourteen days are knocked off, since when Yom Kippur arrives the entire thirty days mourning period will be repealed. The answer is that Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are not completely regarded as Regalim. Therefore although either Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur may repeal a mourning period, however they do not have the clout to work in tandem. They can't both repeal a mourning period for the same mourner; it is either one or the other. Therefore in this case that Rosh Hashanah is repealing the seven day mourning period Yom Kippur does not repeal the thirty day mourning period.
QUICK HALACHAH
A mourner is forbidden in marital relations; however other types of intimacy are permitted. It is even permitted to pour drinks for each other, make each other's beds and wash each other's face, hands, and feet. This applies both if the husband is a mourner and if the wife is a mourner. However they must be stringent regarding hugging and kissing.
