Sex is the thing that brings a couple closer together. Without it, you're likely to have adultry enter your marriage.
Unless, there's a physical problem - I don't suggest it.

I think that if your marriage is based on nothing else than sex and that is all you think getting married is, Then yes. It wont survive long. Because that is what it was based upon. There is so much more to marriage than sex. Yes, It is fun and something that was given to us to feel connected to each other as man and wife. But that isn't the only way to feel close to someone. Laughter and hard times make you closer too. Not as much fun as sex but still the truth. Let me ask a question, If your marriage is based on nothing but sex, What happens when it stops. What have you in common?
Not much. And you will never realize it until it happens.Been there. Done that, But if your marriage is based on Love, Patients, and knowing that there will be times that you may love each other but you will definitely not like each other but willing to work hard to keep what you have promised to share with each other for a lifetime. I don't see that sex really has anything to do with true love, Trust me love and lust are two very different things. Love makes you want someone forever, where lust makes you want someone now. Good Luck!!

Well to start with in order to have a good marriage, you have to love the other person.If you love your spouse then you should want to please them. As a person get older sex is not the center of attention as it once was.
Then you through in life and all the sudden you not having sex, now understand this is an overly simplified view.
The bottom line is if the sex is completely gone, then the two ppl. need to talk about it, because it's probably not a mutual decision, and the person who still wants may look else where for it.
Beside if your in a good marriage then there should be good sex in there also.
Hope this helps

After marriage, sex lives tend to diminish, especially if children are born. The lack of sex should have no influence on the stability of the marriage. Many couples go through periods where having sex is few and far between if at all. This should not however hurt your marriage. Assuming of course the couple got married for love and not lust.

I love all of the idiots who say yes because if it is "true love" you do not need sex.Sex is part of marriage and any marriage without is just a big fat lie!! If my wife is not going to give me sex then I might as well give her the boot, get a girlfriend who will,and hire a maid. It will be a hell of a lot cheaper.

Sex is vital because it's a man's primal need. Deprive him of sex and he'll start looking for satisfaction in other ways. An honest, good marriage CAN NOT last without sex!

Sex is a normal part of marriage, the first year you can't have enough. After the first year and child sex isn't as important. Why what did my husband say?

It depends on how you define "sex". If you define sex as physical affection and activities leading to sexual closeness, and you are referring to a relationship in which none of this occurs, then the answer to your question is a resounding "NO".
If you define it as only meaning sexual intercourse, and you are referring to a couple who for some reason cannot engage in this activity, but who can show their sexual affection in other ways, then I would say yes, it is possible to have a good marriage under these circumstances.

NO sex is a basic need for both men and women, without it there is really no point in marriage.

Why wouldn't you want to have sex after marriage? That does not sound good.I mean don't you have needs? I don't know what to tell you. Sex is a very important part in a relationship.

YES, it is called true love to be able to stay with someone for what ever reason can not have sex. Illness, medications, injury. Love means more than just sex. Men or women who say it is not possible are not looking at the whole picture of life, just one snap shot.
