Question

How important is SEX in a marriage?

Answer 1

When the passion for sex dies in any relationship whatsoever, the relationship might as well come to an end. The reason anybody gets married is to share their whole being with one another. When there is a shortfall in any of category's, whatever it may be, it's going to have a huge influence on a relationship. Therefore sex is but just a part of a relationship, but holds the commitment together. On short, no sex, no commitment.

Answer 2

Extremely.

Love and communication are more important but sex is the true measure of a marriage. A healthy marriage will have a good sex life involved as well.

For a man he must have sex to feel needed and to know that he can open up to his wife. For a woman a lack of sex will leave her bored and feeling like her husband has no interest in her.

Answer 3

Oh! my! my!
Is this a question?
Then why do you think the marriage takes place between man and woman?
Sex is very important. Really important, Certainly important. Highly important. If there is no sex, there is no reproduction (forget about artificial insemination). For reproduction only, sex is there. But some people think in a very restricted way about sex, as if sex is tabu. At the same time, sex gives unexplainable pleasure and wanted joy.

Answer 4

The better question is why is sex in a marriage important.

It is a way to share an intimacy between a man and a woman that is both special and meaningful.

I feel that sex should never be treated as something else on a list of chores that needs to be done but is a celebration of your love.

It is tender, it is caring, it is mutually shared.

Sure, I may be hopelessly old-fashioned, but it has to be more than mere animalistic rutting.

Answer 5

It is important, but it is not everything. You can have a marriage without sex. You can't have a marriage without love, trust, caring and respect. Just think if you lost one of those instead of sex.

Try laying off for awhile (like a week - if you can handle that) and see if you partner comes to you.

Answer 6

Very important, especially for men. It helps their overall outlook on life and if they are happy, those around them will be happier too. Women have more need to feel loved, but sex can be very satisfying. After 32 years of marriage-men have to have it-if not, will probably find it somewhere else. Take heed ladies.

Answer 7

Some people will tell you that it's no big deal. That is a lie. If you and your significant other are compatible in every aspect, except sexually. There will be problems. When sex isn't good, people tend to look outside the relationship. I feel sex is really important. Good Luck!

Answer 8

That really depends upon how important sex is to you and your spouse. If it is not important to either of you, it will not be an issue. If it is very important to one person, and not important to the spouse, it will be a cause of friction, and could even lead to infidelity. You need to talk about this very thoroughly before getting married, if you are already married, you may need to get counseling.

Answer 9

Sex is very important in marriage. It is not what any party must be too tired of paying attention to. It is teh bedrock of marriage itself. However, it should be applied by mutual understanding.

Answer 10

It all depends on the people in the marriage.

I would be content, at 42, if I never had sex again however, my husband, 55 is the total opposite.

For some marriages sex is what makes it work, in others, it doesn't matter. It all depends on your mate!
