Is sex a big part?

Hello. I’m new here. But I just wanted to get some opinions how others feel.

I am almost 25 years old and me and my husband have been together for 9.5 years and married for almost 2. (In September). We are happy and obviously have adult lives and we work full time on different shifts. I work first shift for ten hours and I’m gone before he wakes up, he leaves and I’m sleeping by the time he gets home usually around 10pm. With that being said, we don’t get a lot of time for dates and even sex. The weekends are great but a lot of the time that is the time where we clean, errands, family obligations etc. By the time the weekend is gone, we’re exhausted.

I am very much into having sex. I love sex and feeling special and he does make me feel that way. I get he is tired and exhausted but a lot of the time he doesn’t want to have sex and it really upsets me because I feel like when we do, it’s not often. Being together for so long, obviously sex is not how it used to be with us. Young and in love, we had sex all the time. And now I feel like it is just a burden because I get upset when he doesn’t want to. We decided we are going 100% start TTC in August as I was given great news to finding out I show no signs of not being able to have kids. 🎉🎊

My question is...

How important do you think sex is in a marriage or any relationship?

I feel like sex is a huge trait in being together. It brings you closer to your S/O and I know I feel amazing/special after. I love him so much that after each time my love just grows. But he feels like sex isn’t everything. I am not saying it is but I truly feel like it’s a huge part in a relationship.

I would really like to see everyones opinion! ☺️
