I don't know of any healthy marriage that would last 5 minutes if sex wasn't an important and major part of the relationship.
Yet, whenever someone asks about waiting for sex there's tons of advice that marriage is more than sex. That may be true, but sex is a major part of being married, don't you think.
My point? Telling these people that waiting is ok and sex isn't everything is just unrealistic, bordering on ridiculous.

I have been married for 20+ years and I love sex but if for some reason I couldn't have sex with my husband anymore I wouldn't go find someone else. I still love him. Our marriage is not based on sex. That is what people are pretty much saying. You can not base a longlasting relationship on how much sex you have and how great it is. That's not love.

I think its an important part of the relationship, but marriage is about being together, building a life with each other, sharing. But yes I wouldnt marry a lady that didnt sleep with me, nor would I marry a women I didnt enjoy looking at and having sex with, and I would imagine women feel the same way. Waiting for sex is a personal preference, to alot of people sex just isnt all that important, that comes later. (Not me personally of course) I myself would not be down with that, to each his own.

Well, I've been w/ my husband for 6yrs now and we've been married for 3.5 of them. Of course when we first got together everything was hot and heavy, but over the years things have slowed down... I think that we have a very healthy relationship... yes sometimes we go several weeks w/out having sex, but then other times its non stop. I think it just really depends on the ppl and how secure they are in the relationship to begin w/.

Sex is a very big of a marriage, and I fill badly for those who waiting until that night and they have no ideal what's going on are how to act.
It’s unrealistic and ridiculous.
I believe younger people should wait until their ready 18 and over.
Keep ask the good questions

Email my woman and let her know that please. I think it's only important to men, and secondly important to women.
Well I guess that would be the natural order of things.
Sorry, I'm guessing all women are like this: Perhaps some actually think sex is important and makeing sure you don't let your man go and go and go without thinking he may need some might be important.
Just because you're not up for it 3 times a day doesn't help us.
THATS wh people use that excuse sex isn't that important to marriage
1. Because men aren't getting enough of it and have to accept it
2. some women are answering the question because it isn't 1st on their list of chores.

It is the relationship that a couple has that is important in marriage. If you can negotiate through your disagreements, hardships and failings of each other you have a marriage.
However, I do believe that sex is important in a marriage or at least physical intimacy is. It's the physical closeness that makes a couple feel protected in their marital relationship come whatever challenge is presented to the couple.

What happens when you both get old and he can't get his up and sex with her is like dropping a needle into a volcano.
Yeah sex is a major part of knowing a person completly but in the end, I want to make sure that my best friend see's me out ( if I go first.)

you have to get along with someone before you can have sex with them.
SO, getting along is more important than sex
