[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously both.  Duh.

My husband and I couldn’t keep our hands off one another or be apart after we met.  It was intense chemistry and so much sex I was sore.

BUT- we loved everything about one another, had the same sense of humor, interests and truly liked each other’s friends.  We were intimate inside and outside the bedroom.  He is my best friend.

25 years later, passion can be intense, lull and rise again.  Sex can be quick or long or one is more into than the other—and it can also be amazing.

We are 50 now, we don’t go more than a week without having sex and sometimes it’s a few times per week.  Or somebody has a parent dying or is sick themselves, and we obviously don’t feel like it.

You need both for a long, happy successful marriage and you need to be flexible and understanding.[/quote]

This is a good post. My initial inclination is that sex is what makes you a couple and is the one thing you only do with each other. But you are right, both are essential
 
I think of it like arguing whether the steering wheel or the gas is more essential to a car. If you don't have both, the car is worthless[/quote]
