Very, because if you can't have it within the marriage it's very likely to produce feelings of disappointment.How important is sex in a marriage?in a young marriage I would say it's crucial, later on maybe less but not a whole lot less.
not a big issue ~ when you first meet you want to make sure that it is good, however, if the fire loses some of it's flame that doesn't mean the love is lost. People grow comfortable together and it isn't always important and maybe just a big hug or some cuddling.How important is sex in a marriage?Absolutely. This is a make or break point. Sex is one of the 3 major issues in marriage. Followed by money and in-laws.How important is sex in a marriage?
i think if the person loves you it shuld not be a problem!!!
for some women it's not that important. but for men it's super important!



you have to think about it like if he didn't talk to you. how would you feel if he decided that it wasn't important to just talk sometimes? that would be a huge emotional void to you! well, that's what sex is like for him. when you decide that it's not that important to have sex you and leaving him with an emotional void.How important is sex in a marriage?
I agree with TIMOTHY D L!!!
The absence of meaningful sex is one of the reasons why most couples separate. Sex is the physical expression on love (especially for men). In it's absence there is a sense that love has lost its passion and without passion the relationship dies. Nothing else can substitute for sex.
i think it's very important. There always needs to be alone time with each other to feel that closeness.
It is an issue when you both place a different emphasis on the matter
well someone sounds VERY, VERY HORNY!!!
sex is important to men because they associate it with closeness.its a good guestion though!he'll probably still love ya if u dont for awhile.
i think its the second most important thing besides communication
it depends on the sex drive of the individuals concerned. i have a high one. you take sex away from me and im walking!!!! i need it, baby, like flowers need rain. on the other hand if the individual concerned has a low sex drive then it wouldnt be such an issue.



the moral of the story is - make sure you sex drive matches before you're committed. know your partner before you commit and give them what they need and are entitled to.
Very important, but not as important as honesty and faithfulness....
it is very important especialy if each partner isn't getting their needs met...somebody has to be sexually compatible...

if sex is good and everybody is happy it's not that important but if it's causing the realtionship harm it is the more important.



Sex in a marriage is a physical way of expressing your love...i wouldn't want to be in a relationship/marriage with out it!
I think it is about 40% of a marriage.
Probably 80% of "happy" couples don't do it after the first few years.
top priority .. right up there with trust, Fidelity and honesty
depends on who you ask. And no, this isn't a bad question. I got reported because I said to some one, OMG, you can';t spell your own name right.
yes, it's how you connect in a deep way, if I couldn't have sex, my husband wouldn't be here..
I think it depends entirely on the couple. It's importantance and frequency is all up to people in the relationship.



But of course they have to be on the same wavelength or it becomes a problem.
Definately...Sex isn't everything, but if sex is not being had, then it's a big problem...
If I get married to a lady I better have sex once a day 365 days of the year and twice thrice or more on other days....lol...I am 22 and with a lot of sexual appetite...but sex is very important...helps you releive stress so you can be successful in other areas of your life...also makes you connect with your partner better...its on of the gifts to mankind why would you not haves sex....yes honestly the absence of sex would really become a GREAT issue....its like a test of how the marrriage is going...so enjoy sex and have it everyday like you brush your teeth...twice on somedays.
its not important ur husband can always go sumwhere else 4 sex cuz ppl these days obviously cannot live w/o it
Generally speaking it's more important for men than women in marriage, remember men are physical women are emotional, I feel it's very important, but not as important as communication, no communication no sex. It's just that simple
In real life, things that are important should be determined by an individual themselves. Our society “values” change with different cultures, traditions and certain norms set. We start behaving sometime unconsciously to those norms. Sex primary aim by nature is to continue the species. So sex is important for breading. And the urge to bread is in our complex nature. Sometimes our intellect questions such urge. The act is pleasurable as nature must have thought making it otherwise the species may not continue. If you understand this and do not want to bread or sex is not pleasurable for reasons best known to you, you can make a choice not to have sex.
sex is important.....it does not necessarily have to happen every night, but the absence of it indicates that there is a problem.....there has to be some intimacy in a marriage.
A sexless marriage wouldn't work for me..Some might accept it but I couldn't..
sex makes up a big part of a marriage.if you weren't having sex with your husband what else are you going to do with him
