Is it the end of the world or your marraige if you and your marriage partner can rarely consummate or unable to consummate in thier marraige. Is physical intamcay super important or can yu do without it? Can God fix what is broken? I hear of more and more couples in marraige unable to have s*x, yet they are still married and together and not divorced. I was wondering because I know people that are unable to be in union is this something I can pray for for these people, is it proper to pray to God about such matters?

Of course it's proper to pray for such things-if you believe in God, then you know He created sex & intended it for joy. As for the rest-I'm married, & our experience has been that there are tiimes when we have a lot of sex, other times when it's irregular, & others where it's nonexistent. It's kind of like riding a wave-and I think it's natural, just part of the way long-term relationships work.

Physical intimacy is a personal thing and the important thing is that both partners are truly on the same page. If both partners are satisfied with the degree of physical intimacy that they have then it is a thriving marriage. If one partner feels that they are not adequately getting their s.xual needs met then resentment can build up which can lead to frustration and a lack of intimacy and possibly cause the one partner to stray. Marriage partners need to be open and honest about their needs without being controlling or whining. They need to listen to one another and respect the other person's needs. If the problem with consumation is a physical thing there is always Viagra. If s.x is really not that important to both parties but they enjoy each other in every other way then they can have a thriving marriage without the physical component. If there is a degree of difference in both parties and it is causing friction in the relationship then prayer and possibly a Christian marriage counselor would be indicated. It is definetly good to pray about this. God designed man and woman to have a satisfying physical intimacy experience.

if it works for both people then fine, but if one person wants and needs sex and the other doesn't want sex, care to have sex or is just unable to have sex then the problems will start. i don't care about the old saying if u love someone then sex doesn't matter, that line is just a bunch of woman's b/s. sex is VERY important and like i said if one person wants sex and the other does not then the marriage will probably not last very long, or if it does then there WILL be some cheating. so for this couple they have to ask this question: is our marriage worth my lack of sexual desire

It depends on the people involved.
I personally am not sure how I would deal with it. If my husband had a physical problem that made him unable to perform I would hope that he would still enjoy pleasing me in other ways. I love him for much more than his bedroom performance but it is the icing on the cake and I don't like cake without icing!!~

It's proper to pray to God about any problem you have in your life. I know ppl who have sexless marriages. It's not all about sex. If you have the right relationship you will be able to weather any storm that comes along.
