"How important is sex in a marriage?" Well, to add another oddball data point to the chart, take my marriage of almost 6 years now (6 years this coming Saturday!). If you saw us together you'd think we were married yesterday, we're very happy together, are virtually inseparable, always hugging and kissing, yadda yadda, so you'd think we were doing it practically every night, right? Well, let's just say it's highly unusual for us to "do it" twice in one month, and 2-3 month gaps are pretty much normal for us. Why? It's rare that we're both "in the mood" and not too tired on the same night. Sometimes I wonder if something isn't right with her, especially when we approach 3 months of no action, but there are so many other things about her that make her so wonderful to me that sex (or the lack thereof) doesn't really bother me. I figure a marriage is more likely to be successful if it doesn't rely on sex as a crutch.
I suppose on the plus side it makes us appreciate it more when it does happen!
