reader, anonymous, writes (28 February 2010): Without sex, you're just roommates or best friends, and it's very healthy to have sex, and sometimes even when you're both very stressed and barely have time to see each other, it can break the ice as well as be a very great destresser. It's one of the things you do together, as one, and can relieve tension that may have been built up between the two of you. Sex is a great form of healing, so don't discount it or disclude it, but it won't save your relationship..unless you have a kid from it, and you feel your kid gives you the belief you need when your partner isn't strong enough for you or always around.

 Sex is not the key, but it is an important element to a sexual relationship. A couple can still be a strong fullfilled couple and not have sex at all, if that is what both parties want. There are couples who are completely celebate out of choice and still love each other and have a good loving relationship.
But when there are problems with the sex life of a couple who are in a sexual relationship this can cause problems. If one partner loses interest in sex where the other partner doesn't it can put a strain on the relationship. Also a dwindling sex life can reflect problems in other areas of the relationship. It can reflect anger and resentment and many other things.
But if your relationship is strong in other areas, the more important areas like trust, caring, mutual understanding and friendship, then you are better able to work through problems in the bedroom. Whereas a relationship based purely on sex will struggle to survive if other areas are dwindling.
Basiclly, sex is an important factor, if sex is important to both parties, but it is not the be all and end all. You can have a loving relationship without sex.

Sex isn't key. It's in a long list of things that make a relationship work. Including understanding, listening, compromise, love, lust, happiness, sadness, compassion and about a million other things. There is no one thing that is more important than any other in a relationship. A relationship based on just one thing, such as sex, is ultimately doomed to fail. There are many things that make a relationship, and no such 'key'.
