Yup.Life circumstances happen, illness happens, age and physical abilities can change. There are other forms of intimacy besides sex people can engage in. Imo, though debated, sex is a want not a need. But every relationship is different.

Sure. Not everyone is interested in sex, but does want other benefits of marriage. The bonding, companionship, financial security etc. It would not be my personal preference.

If it is that there is a good reason why there is no sex, like sickness or similar, then yes no questions asked. I would live without it. But if it's just because, from one day to another my partner decides we won't do it anymore, then I don't think that would work for me.

Sure. Lots of people don't have sex for a variety of reasons. Staying in a relationship is a choice.

Absolutely. I married my husband and swore to be his partner through thick and thin, up and down, sickness and health. If something happened to him where we couldn’t have sex anymore oh well. I can always masturbate and there are plenty of ways to be intimate without sex.

I’m in a basically sexless marriage and our relationship has never been stronger. It can definitely work.

We chose to get married for better and worse; that included our sex drives and previous “baggage” 🤷‍♀️ we accept the quirks of each other and accept we can still be close without sex

My husband has health issues which has killed his sex drive and I don’t have a high sex drive since having kids. That is really sweet of your husband..

It depends on why the marriage is sexless and if both of you are on the same page. I have zero sex drive and have a lot of previous trauma; my husband acknowledges that and is ok with accepting me as I am. Sex isn’t the only way to be intimate and close with a person.

I would be fine with it.

Love is a choice not a feeling. While sex is a wonderful thing to have for married couples, it is not a requirement for a marriage to work.

It can work of course as long as both parties are on the same page.

I don’t really see how. They’re basically your friend/roommate if that’s the case. But I guess it depends on the people, if neither one of them has any sex drive whatsoever then I guess it could work. If one does and the other doesn’t then that won’t last. It’s a pretty specific set of people needed to make it work, not impossible but can’t see it being realistic
