Is it a violation of the marriage agreement for one partner to just give up on being the other persons s e x partner? Isn't this an example of being unfaithful?

refusal to have sex (which is a part of marriage) is withholding or becoming exempt from the marriage
So by terms it would be cheating, because you are cheating your partner!!!

Not nessisarily.......... it does happen to people that they lose their sex drive. It doesn't always mean that they are cheating or being unfaithful. Marriage is NOT about sex. Sex is a perk, a small part of the marriage that is beautiful and suppose to be exciting for the two in love. Sex is a big part of marriage to some people but I truly think that too many married couples bank too much on it. Marriage is a bigger scene from the bedroom or other places that people do it. I understand enjoying the closeness with your partner, but there is more to life and a marriage then sex, and if your partner has slowed down from wanting it, or their sex drive has gone down from what it once was, that doesn't mean they are being unfaithful. You may want to talk to your partner and see how they feel, and what they say. You could really be off key here. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.......... blessed be

I agree with most of the other answerers; it is not being unfaithful. However, marriage is not considered legal until it is consumated. Also, if people have the feelings for one another that usually lead to marriage, sex comes naturally for them. One of the spouses refusing to have sex with the other usually means something serious has changed in the relationship. But legally, there is no violation, as long as it has been consumated once.

Not unfaithful, but people need to understand the other has needs.
If one person COMPLETELY loses interest in se x and refuses to play along, try new things, or even go to therapy about it, then I think it will become a deal-breaker eventually.
I knew someone once who's wife refused to have sex with him for four years, no matter what he would do. He gave an ultimatum of therapy or he would go looking elsewhere.
Shortly after they began therapy she was mysteriously pregnant.
Turns out she actually got aroused by him demanding sex and withholding it from him. They would fight and scream and she would leave the house and then go get picked up by some guy.
What a sick woman...........at least HE never got her pregnant and got a clean divorce.

Sex is indeed a part of marriage. I don't think it's considered being unfaithful if you are being denied the sex......I can tell you this...most marriages don't survive without sex. That only causes the one spouse to find someone else, then that spouse has been unfaithful.

I thought people get married for a number of reasons....as sex being one of the reasons to keep it going or amusing! I don't know some people in different parts have their own beliefs of marriage vows.... And i thought some get forced to get married so i read anyways. Not having sex in a marriage is another story.. alot of people are married and stilll go around having sex with others called being unfaithful to the spouse........

I would not say unfaithful. However, sex is a part of marriage. If you stop having sex with your spouse for reasons within your control (if you are a quadripalegic from an accident what can you do ), you are causing a situation which justifies cheating or divorce.

It isnt being unfaithful, but it is selfish and unfair.
Unless the person cant help it due to physical reasons beyond control.
If that person has totally lost interest and doesnt desire that physical closeness with their partner then theres other big issues within the relationship that need worked out.

Sex is an important part of a marriage. Without it you are just roomates! That leaves room for cheating. A person can only take so much before they start to look for what they are not getting from their spouse!!!

It depends. Usually, it is assumed. People don't normally get married to be celebate. Some do, but this needs to be clarified before the marriage. Some more traditional marriage vows will include something like "to have and to hold" and since "have" and "hold" are given as two different things, and we know what "hold" means, "have" can be taken to mean "have" in the sexual sense.

This is what bible say (Corinthians chapter 7)
2 But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.
3 The husband should not deprive his wife of sexual intimacy, which is her right as a married woman, nor should the wife deprive her husband.
4 The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband also gives authority over his body to his wife.
5 So do not deprive each other of sexual relations.
The marriage is a convenent between woman and man and should be observed.
