A relationship will only be as good as the sex.

We can make a list about what brings and keeps two people together. We can talk about compatibility and shared ambitions and goals, but if a certain sexual chemistry isn’t there, nothing in the world can make up for it.

There is a reason why sex is important for couples. With physical connection, we are able to gain greater insight to our subconscious connection.

well at OP I'll like to say your point of view is as correct as the point of view of the poster above me... but I'll like you to put in mind that you can get great sex from someone you're not in a relationship with but that doesn't you are in a relationship with that person... I believe the fear of commitment is what most people shy away from when it comes to being in a relationship

Well said.

And money. Don't forget money.

A lot of factors determine how great relationship can possibly be but to be honest sex I will always be in the top three of the factors.

I know some pretenders will say is sex food.
