I think that you need a cool mix of both sex and love to stay inlove with someone but is love enough what about bills and partners that don't pay their share. I had this no longer with the guy. so is love enough?

I don't think you need sex to stay in love but it can be a beautiful enhancement.

No love isn't enough. Its a pretty harsh lesson to learn. Sorry that you've had to learn it the hard way. Me too.
There has to me more than just love, even being totally IN LOVE, to make a successful relationship. There has to be a partnership on the practical side of things too; sorting out the house, holidays, bills. A relationship will only work between two whole individuals, not when one person is too dependent on the other.
I think good sex is very important to staying in love, because it is the best way to make your partner feel good and to show them how you feel about them. It is time for just the two of you to be relaxed and have fun.
Best of luck!
PS My mother is a believer in arranged marriages because she says that happiness and love are all about taking the time to think about the other person's feelings and making an effort. In 'love' matches people think 'oh we're in love, everything will be fine' and they don't put in the effort that the relationship requires. Not sure I'd go for it, but it is an interesting idea.

sex , is an important part of a love relationship , unless you don't like having sex. If you are with someone that does not pay 1/2 the bills , well then they don't love you ! Every relationship should be a 50 / 50 give and take . Don't ever let someone run you over , because they will carry it as far as you will let them !

thats a good question because sex is a big thing in a relationship and 9 time out of 10 most couple argue or even split up because there needs for sex is different to there partners. for partners who dont do there share in bills and chores and other things are not doing wot there suppose to, ur there partner not there mother . and hunnie just because you love someone it dosent mean you have to stay with them they need to take the responsibilities if there not then where the love for you .. your just as important look after your self

I don't know about staying in luv, but if I am to stay interested there damn well better be sex involved !!!! As far as compatability out of bed, no guy is going to get a free ride as far as bills and other expenses while we live together. Either we are partners in the relationship or the relationship doesn't last for long.

If your partner doesn't pay his or her share, they are not giving love, in which case they cannot truly love you. You cannot give true love to someone who doesn't return it. Love has to be mutual in a relationship for it to ever really stand the test of time. You might be better off considering finding a partner who genuinely loves and respects you enough to take their responsibility seriousely.x

sex is just there to spice up love. bills are just material things that can not affect your true love for someone, its just as good as being in love with a person who is out of employment and you hope that one day that person will find a job and be able to help you expecially women expect much from men. So for the bills, just discuss with your loved one and find a way to share this responsibility and dont allow this to affect the Love that is hard to find once lost.

the question you should be asking yourself is "are you sexually attracted to this person?" This is fundamentally different from being "in love". Yes, being in love usually leads to sex - but don't confuse the two as being one of the same thing. If you feel pressured to have sex just to keep the relationship going, then something is seriously wrong with the relationship. Move on.

i dont think havin sex will keep you in a relationship.. you cant based your relationship on sex... sex and givin ppl things isnt a way to show your love for someone.... sex helps but isnt everything you know... and if you love someone i mean you should know it and shouldnt have to question it... there r two kinds of love you can be in love or you can love someone... you can love anyone your mom or dad anyone but being in love is something so diff when your in love you feel like your a better person when your wit them and you couldnt see life witout them.. you know... this is your choose and only you can make it.... so do wat you think is best follow your heart your gut insint.... and hope for the best

You don't need sex to make a relationship work. Love is enough, 'cause if you love each other enough, you can make everything work.

According to me love & sex both r imp. equally. if v gonna have gud bonding, gud relationship, if u r open to each other, if dr no 3rd person b/w u both vn u understand eachother dn only u kan proceed further. sex i also equaly imp. 'coz if u wil nt have sex after u understand each how you will u or ur partner wil satisfy each others physical needs. Physical need also imp. That means both r equally imp.
