No sex due to illness or disease.

Sex in marriage is a perk.... and no matter what eventually it will wane between two who are together for a long time....
Sex when someone is ill can be very difficult for both partners and sometimes it is in the best interest of both to just stop doing it. Not that they are not intimate, there is so much more to marriage... we have been together for 20 years now and my illness has made this impossible for the last year. My husband loves me enough to have given that part of his life up. Sad to say because that fun is gone but there is always other stuff....

Since you are saying due to disease or illness than that is different then saying out of choice OR because they work too much.
We rarely if ever have sex any more and we are very happily married.. sex is not everything in a relationship and many people put too much importance on it.
More inportant is the intimacy of love and togetherness and supporting one another. The friendship as well and communication.. there are so many other more intimate things to do then have intercourse and many more things to enjoy and explore where you can connect physically and your souls become joined on another level.

Yes.
These are the people who have based their relationship on love,trust,faithfulness and friendship. (Sex was and is the icing on the cake so to speak.)
Too many people are baseing their relationships on sex only and that is why there are too many divorces today.
When the allure of sex wears off and people don't know what else to do or how to face life's trials and tribulations then they split.
Sex is good and warm and loving BUT that's not all there is to a relationship.

Yes,
My wife is being treated for Vulvar Cancer. Had most of her vulva, and perianal removed. Complications and pain have abruptly ended our sex life.
yet, we are still happiily married as sex is important, but not the basis of our relationship. Physically and emotionally the lack of sex is no small issue, but talking out feelings rather than getting angry or worse, cheating help immensly. Mutual understanding must be achieved....she is not having sex either...(many folks forget that) and is missing it too. Work out issues by talk, trust, and love that should be the basis of the relationship anyway. The healthy person might get angry.....happend to me......and then get more angry, for being angry....make sence? but I can't stress enough that communication is key!!!!!!!! Sex is one of the leading causes of maritial issues...... so it is important.......treat it as such

Not me, I need more sex...but I suppose if it was because of illness or something I could get over it. Best wishes
