    No its just one of the benefits of a relationship that is built on love, commitment, and trust. Sex without those things is cheap does more damage than good.

    No. True love is what holds everything together. Read in the Bible 1 Corinthians 13 "The Love Chapter" to find out what I mean. If love dies, it wasn't love in the first place, but something else like lust (your desire for sex.). Lust will always fail you when someone prettier comes along. True never fails. It is true love that has kept my wife and I married for over 29 years. If everyone would practice it, the divorce rate wouldn't be so high. True love is such that it will gladly give up its own life to save the life of another. That is what makes it true love.

    NO!!!! Sex is never going to hold together anything! Everyone says sex is a way to express love. If you really love someone you talk and NEVER force someone to. That will kill the relationship for sure.

    No. It's a combination of things. Love, truthfulness, caring, sharing, thoughtfulness, respect, honesty, trust, open communication, tenderness, and sex. I may have forgotten some, but it really takes all of these and more to keep a relationship together, oh you really have to work at it if you want it to last. Good luck

    no. sex is an important factor to the whole relationship, but a true and healthy relationship depends on trust, communication, devotion, the ability to be yourself unfiltered... these are just as important as sex in the relationship. you have to juggle.

    wrong

    sex is only a part of a relationship that builds on love, loyalty, companionship, etc.

    a relationship doesnt end when sex ends (when old)

    Hell no!

    but im not going to lie, once your in a relationship its all sex, i think its retarted, once you give it to them thats all they want, so i guess you could loook at it like that but reality its not.

    sex is the icing on the cake. no cake is completely without it, but it is only one part of the cake.
