Not to put anyone down but those who tell you that sex isn't important in a marriage are either justifying their own lack of libido or they are trying to make themselves feel better about being in a marriage where their needs are not being met. That's fine if both partners put a low value on sex. If they're compatible and happy there's nothing wrong at all. But the need for sexual fulfillment (and it is a need, not just a "nice to have") is often greater in one partner than in the other and this can cause conflict. If one partner is needing more and the spouse is saying "No, it's not important" then it's really the same thing as saying "Well, I don't have that need so you shouldn't either". That's a problem. Since it isn't acceptable for married people to get their sexual needs met outside the marriage, this is a serious problem for the unsatisfied spouse. It is essential to a good marriage for partners to understand, appreciate, value and meet all of each other's needs. When they don't, they are condemning their spouse to a lifetime of unmet needs and that is not a very healthy foundation upon which to build a strong and happy marriage!

I think the essential thing is intimacy on all levels, intellectually, spiritually, and physically... Men need to relate, women need to belong. Men need to be heroes, and admired, women need a safe harbor... And for all it's worth, it's essential to enjoy each other. When the joy is gone, marriage is just a chore. Smiling more will do wonders. Loving, touching, communication, trust... will come naturally. That's what I think.

Love, trust, respect, communication, caring and most importantly the ability to compromise!
Our 20th anniversary is next month and we are doing great!
My mother in law gave me advise years ago before we were married and I couldn't believe it. She told me that all you needed was to give them the 3 F's: Feed 'em
F*** 'em and Football! Ah, Dear Mom!

Mutual understanding, love and respect to each other's feelings. Faith, trust etc. attributes have short term affects.
