What sustains a marriage more -- good sex life or good friendship?

If the platonic connection becomes lacking and one person feels bereft because of it, it won't work.

And proper communication surrounding both of those things is essential, without fear or hesitation. Some never clearly state their issues or sincerely try to work them out before just running out and “taking care of it themselves”.
