I really don't think it could last without sex. Sooner or later, someone's gonna get "itchy" and if they ain't gonna get scratched at home, then they're gonna go somewhere else.

I think the reason for the high divorce rate has nothing to do with what goes on or what doesn't go on in the bedroom I believe it is high because it is too easy to get a divorce and people with the stress and strains of everyday life just don't have the time or can't be bothered to make the relationship work. As the relationship gets older the sex is not as important and relationships can and do survive on intimacy.

Yes, it could last, but it wouldn't be easy. If it was a choice and not a need I don't think it would have a chance. Take for example a couple who finds out that for health reasons the wife can not have sex, then I think if an effort is made by both partners to maintain the intamacy then they stand a good chance,
If, on the other hand you have a couple where one of the two just doesn't enjoy sex, and so has decided to abstain, then I think you have a serious problem, and will not be making it long term.

Lots of marriages last without it. I think sex is very important in marriage, because it keeps you close to one another. I certainly don't think it should be the focus.

Very important. And no I dont think any two sane people can have a healty marriage without a healthy sex life.

Marriage is the cake. Sex is like icing on the cake...people love it, people want it. But its not neccesary all the time. A relationship that falls apart due to lack of sex was pretty weak to begin with, if ya ask me, sorry!!

It depends on the people involved. If both of them have a naturally low sex drive, then I'd say frequent sex certainly isn't a necessity. I've known married people who have sex VERY seldom, but it works for them.

personally, i think it depends on the person...
it is important to me? Yes
would a marriage to me last without it? No
However, I have a friend who tells me it has been YEARS and she seems very happy and content with all aspects of her life.

Its as important to the male as it is for the female...without it there could be a lot of tension build up and after a while it can really blow up.

Sex is a gift from God...
There are few pleasures in this life...
A good night's sleep
A good massage.
and really good sex.
We should all enjoy each of these gifts that God has given us.
If you are not getting it in your marriage...you should seek counseling.
By the way...it should also be mutually enjoyed...women should receive as much pleasure from it as men.
