How important is sex in a relationship?

Answer 1

That is a truly open-ended question.

While I don't advocate that any relationship be built on physical attraction alone, without it, many relationships are doomed to failure. This is simply because at a younger age, intellectual compatibility doesn't seem quite so important as physical love & emotional connectedness (along with all that a good relationship also needs - respect, common values, common interests & goals, etc).

If a relationship has a strong basis in those things, it will slowly over time, develop into the type of companionship that the older people who are still truly in love share (the 80-year-old couple walking through the park holding hands kind of love).

Answer 2

Answer 3

in relationship, you don;t see s.e.x together.

for married couples, yes, sex is important as an enhancer to the relationship. For the married, tHEY should ALREADY have a level of maturity in their relationship and thats why they are married and want to be together for life. SEX comes as a enhance and a requisite to family buidling.

For singles and courting, sex is not important at all, unless you want to be a unwed parent with several kids?! Singles should build the maturity in their relationship and get to know each other. Sex can always wait for later.

Answer 4

To me sex is very important! It is what keeps the relationship alive but trust is really important!

Answer 5

if its a long relationship and serious, it is very important later on. new people can take a while to get into a sex life, but once in, the sex life is important. it may not seem right, but naturally, a really good sex life can help couples through bad fights, and hard times. it sometimes keeps a relationsip going through hard times until they get over their problems and get back closer and such.

Answer 6

While sexual satisfaction is important and necessary for a healthy relationship, you spend more time out of bed than in it. I'd say sex is about 20% of the relationship.

Answer 7

sex can bring a couple closer together in ways unimaginable. It allows the two to connect and indulge in the pleasure of having eachother in the most natural way. Although it is important, it isn't everything, and like everything else in life, you can't just dive into it. It takes knowing your partner and integrating the communication skills that every relationship needs.

Answer 8

I know some people think it's the glue to it all.
if you really love someone, having sex can wait a long time.
I don't think sex is very important in a relationship. I believe that you should be married before screwing around with someone, even if you are really close.

Answer 9

There is no easy answer, but hopefully the couple can strive to find a middle ground. One camp says if the couple sincerely has such a strong foundation, they should try absolutely everything in their power to communicate on the sexual issue and reach some type of solution.

If one person prefers to have sex once a month, but the other is unsatisfied with that, there needs to be a compromise. After all, as partners, aren't we supposed to WANT to make each other happy? I don't suggest doing something you truly don't want to do, but try various frequencies to reach some type of compromise. Make it your goal to find a middle ground, but be content with the solution.

Answer 10

Pretty. No sex and it's juts really a friendship that's all. But don't get the idea that sex is the be all and end all, it's just one part of a healthy relationship.
