Love is not always about Sex If you truly love each other just to hold hands or a simple touch is nice Ihave been married to the same man for 48 years and we are still in love even if the sex is less

Sex is what fuses two people together.
In the beginning of a relationship, sex is often. Creating a strong bond.
As the bond is created, sex is needed less for that purpose, and it becomes a symbol of love.
Now you do it because you wnat to, not because you can't keep your hands off each other.
Here's an interesting idea.
Next time you are invited to a wedding, as a second gift, give a large jar and a bag of dry beans.
Tell the new couple that for the first year, evry time they do it, put a bean in the jar. See how quikly it fills!
Then, after the first year, every time to take a bean OUT of the jar. See how many years it takes to empty the jar.
It shows that sex comes less often, but love is still strong.

Yes and no.
When you're a young married couple, you're lucky if you even leave the bedroom. Generally, at that age, you should be crazy about each other. At that age, yes, the lack of sex can put a damper on any relationship.
When you're older, though, there's more to it than sex. If the relationship if based on the fact that you are each other's best friend and companion, less sex doesn't matter. If you have a clear understanding of each other, you both understand that there are kids to raise, bills to pay, and other things in life that get in the way of sex. You adapt to less of it, and it shouldn't matter if the relationship is good.
Between a boyfriend and girlfriend, though, sometimes it seems that sex IS all that matters. If you're each other's best friend, though, it shouldn't make you love each other less.

That depends VERY MUCH on the individuals. For example, older couples tend to have less sex simply due to decrease hormones. In my opinion, though, a young couple in their 20's or 30's, oftentimes less sex means that there are problems in the relationship, a heavy burdensome household, or other responsibilities that get in the way. Less sex CAN mean less love though many would deny this.

You generally have a lot of sex early in the relationship and then settle down. Love grows with time together--as long as you work on the relationship.
There are times in a relationship when you can't have sex--after a pregnancy, during an illness, etc. but it doesn't affect your love--or at least it shouldn't.
We have been together for 24 years and only had one small quarrel. Our love has definately grown. I wish you as much happiness as we have.

I don't think that it's you love them less, I just think you are more prone to have arguments and fight more. My girlfriend and I don't have nearly as much sex as we used to but we still love each other. I find that when we don't have sex for like a week we tend to get on each other's nerves more.

Not necessarily, you can refrain from sex as an act of love sometimes. I know it sounds weird, but imagine if your partner cannot have sex for any medical reason, you wouldn't stop loving him/her/ would you?
True love is not measured in the amount of sex had in a relationship, by the way...

My wife and I love eachother very much..we have two careers,two little ones, and a house to maintain...we only have sex like once or twice every two weeks..and although it really sucks...it's okay.I feel sex is a huge part of a relationship, but it's definately not the most important thing...

i think that if a couple can have less sex, and it not be an issue, they actually love each other more. relationships should not be dependent on sex.

i think when in a relationship having sex is like a goal. You must have a true relationship before achieving that goal...however once there ...if you have sex...then what is there to look forward to ....more sex....boring after a while with the same person...however some people are different...but most guys like to move around.....once there goal has been completed they move on to the next person
