Can a marriage survive without it or with little?

Sex and love are two different things. Sex is always sex, but love grows and shrinks and revivs itself again...it is a living, almost touchable thing.
Sex, rather good sex, should not be rating on quantity, how much you get or how long the session lasts. It should be based more on quality, when the time is right for both of you. When the stresses of everyday life a at bay, when you can both relax and devote your energies to just the two of you. Take time, gently please each other, cuddle after, talk of mundane, nothingness. Appreciate the person with you.

I think it's important, as does my husband. However, it's different in each situation. It's only as important as both people make it, and it's not neccessary all the time. The key is finding a person who is has the same view on it. Some married couples go at it like bunnies because they both want it, while others do not, again because they both don't want it.
A marriage can survive it, but it has to be what both people want or don't want. If one wants it all the time, and the other barely wants it, then obviously it's going to be a problem for the marriage.

I do believe that a marriage can not survive without sex unless it is agreed upon by both partners for some reason. If your wife/husband doesn't want to have sex with you, maybe there is a little more than meets the eye.

Every marriage is different. Sometimes circumstances don't allow you to make love with your spouse for a while. You know all the details of your relationship. If there's a serious problem threatening your marriage why not go to marriage counseling to figure out a solution toguether. You can overcome any problem that comes your way and when you do it toguether your relationship becomes so much stronger and you'll both be happier.

I'm sure a marriage can survive without it, but intimacy is pretty important. I'd guess that only older couples could go very long with some kind of sex for very long. Just my opinion.

Very important, my marriage is over and thats one of the many reasons. I didn't think I missed it, but I do, I was just hiding inside myself for so long, not wanting to face the truth but the truth is it is important for everyone, I don't care who you are. If your not getting it, no matter how much you love the other person, eventually you'll go outside the marriage. We're all human and imperfect, so work on it.

The majority of marriages will not survive with out sex. Marriage is not based on sex, but it allows you to be close with your spouse.

Sex is directly proportional to love.
Lots of sex = lots of love and excitement
little sex = little love and excitement
Marraige, work, family...kids...it definitely kills the sex drive we had as teenagers...but make time for it. Once you start, it's fun...you just have to force yourselves to work at it.

it's a good chunk of marriage , I wouldn't say it's everything but it certainly puts a strain on the marriage if you have problems there.
