Best answer:
Answer by Effyouseekayy E
sex is meant to be between a man and his girlfriend
What do you think? Answer below!



who are you talking to and what authors are you reading?
I’ve never seen that as being the main thing to help a marriage in any self-help book. Most things I’ve seen base ensuring a stable relationship with honest solid communication.
The answer may be that they are failing to look at the problem(s) from a holistic perspective. Not every problem in marriage has to do with sex, money is another big issue that may be underlying an argument between two people.
I don’t think sex can save a marriage. Although I do fell sex and or lack of can sure end one. To me it’s what’s in the heart that saves a marriage. Good Luck
If making a marriage work is like building a wall correctly, sex is the mortar between the bricks. You can’t build a wall out of just mortar. But likewise you can’t leave it out completely without weakening the rest of the wall significantly. LOL…sex is fun but you need something for the other 23 hours and 45 minutes per day! I don’t know many long-term relationships that kept going ONLY because the husband and wife both liked sex so much. I think you’re well focused. And authors, who knows. They deal in fictions. Good luck.
There are many other things to be considered, but some time ago a counsellor told me that sex is glue that holds relationships together. Might not be 100% accurate, but there’s a grain of truth there.
Who on EARTH said only sex can save a marriage?
That’s ridiculous.
Marriage is definitely not based on sex alone; although it does bring to people together, a oneness if u might say. BUT in these days and times where both parents are needed to work and support the family; sometimes sex is not an option and sleep wins!!!! Sometimes in these moments cuddling is great until proper rest is acquired…. Me and my husband have been together for 15 years and we still love each other the same as when we first met. Our sexual relationship is still as great as when we first met, but our friendship is even stronger. When he is tired I understand and when I am tired he understands also. We always end up meeting in the middle somehow, and it brings us together so much!!!!!!! These Authors that publish these books must not be in the top 500 ……..Because this is a very false statement of marriage…..
I don’t know what books you been reading but i can assure you that sex makes up a small part just like friendship, communication, trust, loyalty put them all together and that makes up a good marriage.
