Does sex make your relationship stronger?

Answer 1

It can.

Refusing sex can also make it weaker.

Answer 2

If you are married, yes. Sex is the most intimate intimacy you can find with someone. It makes the bond more beautiful. Although, for every person I think it's different.

It depends how you view sex. If you are not married I don't think sex is the same. There's something special between becoming one with the person you were actually meant to become one with, rather then some guy in some bar.

Answer 3

It all depends of the people involved.

For a woman, usually sex means a very serious and powerful relation with a man. This is the reason you don’t see so many women looking for casual sex. On the other hand, most guys will consider sex just that, sex. But, if the guy really loves the woman, then sex will mean more, and I think at the end, it has the same meaning for both of them after their love has grown into a real relation, and not just lust, or “teenager” dating.

I would consider first what real love is before you can think that anything else can make a relation stronger. Real love is to love someone, no matter what their appearance is, but more for what who he/she is. You are really In love when you help, support, and sacrifice for your loved one no matter what, and you never expect or ask anything in return.

If each involved in the relation have mutual real love, then even when you don’t expect anything in return, you get everything in return, and that is what makes a relation good and strong. Of course, you also need understanding, patience, and you should always be honest no matter what, and mature enough to recognize and admit when you are wrong, and also be able to help your lover when he/she is the one being wrong without fighting.

So where does sex stand in all this? Well, sex should be part of a healthy relation. Just like having fun together anywhere else, like the beach, or going on a vacation, or the everyday life like going to the mall, or grocery shopping, or taking the kids to school, or going doctor. You share your life with your lover, you have fun together, you cry together, and you help each other all the time. To have sex is not only a way to create new life, but also the most intimate act that two lovers can do, to share their love, to feel each other’s body, and to reach deeper than just having an orgasm.

And don’t forget, having sex is fun, exiting, and allows you both to do whatever you like to do, and best, allows you to please your lover in the most exciting and beautiful way ever possible in this world.

It is up to you to decide if sex can bring you two closer and make the relation stronger. As per my own experience, yes, it brings you closer and makes the relation stronger, and better yet, allows you to know your lover better as days go by.

I also want to add something, this is in response to Kendra’s answer. I don’t know where you got those statistics, but they are wrong. Not only I have seen different results, but I am part of that different result. I have known my Wife for almost 10 years, and we got together and started a life together over 6 years ago. We never got married until a couple of years ago, and to us, matrimony was only a signature in a paper and a change of last name for my Wife as she wanted to do it (I did not force her or anything, it was her decision).

I think before you jump into matrimony, you should spend some time with your fiancé living together, and yes, having sex as well. Why? Because you get to know each other, and get to create that bond you mentioned (Kendra) before. If one of the sides doesn’t “fit in” after this, you can call it off, and avoid marriage and divorce. Sex before matrimony is very important because it opens the intimacy to each other and you get to know each other way better. With today’s way of thinking, it is safer to do it this way because it opens your eyes as they could be blind by lust or desire.

It is the sharing of your life what makes possible to create that bond, including having sex, and will allow the couple to reach real love, and be ready to sign that stupid paper of matrimony, as in reality, they only do it so they can be legally a couple and the parents of their future children that are the result of that union and the reason we make love or have sex at the end.

Hope I made some sense with this long answer.

Answer 4

Great question. Yes indeed it does make it alot stronger. Not only sex, but you have to have the passion , desire and drive for your spouse. Think that is why so many couples tend to stray out of their marriages. So many individuals out there in the online world that make the temptation of sexual offers and thats when and where affairs start. Life is short, make the best out of it.

Answer 5

No, in fact, statistics say that almost all relationships that are sexually active before marriage will end, and if they go to marriage, will end in divorce. Why? You're trying to create a bond that isn't meant to be made until there is also full commitment on both sides. It makes the relationship go in unpredicted directions, and adds an emotional attachment that the relationship isn't ready for. You can't truly become one physically if you are not one in emotional, spiritual and mind first, and in marriage status.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

It depends on you guys, but it shouldn't just be based on that cause then it's not love, but I can tell you it's an insurance that your partner won't be going else where looking for excitement or to try things if he can do it with you
