How important is sex to a marriage?

Answer 1

A man will find it somewhere.

Answer 2

Sex is as important in a marriage as it is to the two people who are IN the marriage.

If sex isn't high on the list of priorities for both you and your partner, then it's no big deal. But if one of you craves sex on a regular basis and the other has little to no drive, there could be problems ahead.

"Forever" is a long time to go without sex if it's something important to you - to expect the other person to go without something that's important to them can be unreasonable and unfair.

Sometimes there isn't much of a desire on either side for sex - in which case there's not a problem. Really, it depends on how BOTH people in the relationship feel, whether they are content, etc.

Answer 3

Is some what important to a certain degree. Of course intimacy is needed in order to feel closer to that person. The problem occurs when a relationship is build solely in sex and not actual feelings of love. One might think that the feelings involve are genuine, but the feelings may only involve the sex experience. A marriage built with a foundation of trust, love and mutual feelings may overcome any obstacles that will encounter during their time.

Answer 4

Sex is very important in a marriage. But, guys make it seem like sex is the only thing thats important. I think husbands need to be more romantic and loving instead of oh baby im horny. Its like they belive since they work all day they should come in to a hot meal, cold beer, and a ********.

Answer 6

Usually you can figure out how good a marriage is by considering the sex. Good sex usually promotes a healthy marriage and time well spent together.
Bad sex or no sex usually means unhealthy marriage.
I know right before my x and I got divorced we had hallway sex alot. You know what that is right? You walk past each other in the hall and say "F*ck you"!

Answer 7

Allthough I'm not married,I have been in a relationship where I lived with a guy for 10 years and from my experience I can say that allthough sex is not the most important thing in a relationship,but it is rather important to have a healthy and happy sexlife...you need it to feel intimate with eachother,its a way of expressing how you feel,to be close to your partner.If the sexlife is not satisfying ore isn't there at all it's bound to break you up sooner ore later....

Answer 8

very important. Se_x is probably the most important thing after kids in marriage.

Answer 9

As for me,

sex : marriage :: hunger : food

Marriage is fulfilled with sex and not with sex only!

So u can imagine marriage as a triangle where mutual understanding, loyalty and sex are the three major points in it!

Answer 10

It depends on the individuals. Different people have different strength sexual drives. Just as some people can't wait to have children and others don't want them at all. That's why it's so important to put your expectations of each other out on the table before marriage. Especially if your morals don't permit you to determine if you're sexually compatable before making the commitment.

Answer 11

essential! You can't have a marriage that is happy and successful without a good sex life! It's like having a marriage without speaking to each other ever!
