Why sex is important

Asking why sex is important in marriage is like asking why water is important for our environment. The answer is simple, water is an essential component without which we will be parched and finally die; similarly, a marriage without sex will first become dry, with no excitement whatsoever, and then finally succumb.
Sex is that important 'water' that keeps the marital environment full of life.

Let's talk about sex

This said, sex is not the only thing that keeps the marriage alive. It's one component, like communication or understanding, but its absence in marriage can destroy it.

In our society, sex is still considered taboo, which makes it difficult for people to talk about it openly either with their partners or with their friends.

However, there are couples who are trying to come out of their shells and understanding the importance of not just sex, but sexual intimacy to keep their marriages young forever.

Considering how much we are told that sex is not an important part of a relationship as children, we grow up all the more confused. So it's necessary to properly educate people that having sex is not bad for marriage.

It's about communication

Couples should understand the need for communication for greater intimacy in the bedroom. If the husband and wife are not comfortable outside bedroom they can never be comfortable in the bedroom.

They need to understand that sex is important to a marriage because it creates a bond not only at a physical level but also at spiritual level. And it does not necessarily mean intercourse, which is what most of us understand when we talk about sex.

If we look at sex, it is all about a touch that arouses us to a level where we feel liberated; touch the sky (metaphorically) and come back to the earth feeling tired but refreshed after a bad day at work.

It's in the touch

Doesn't everybody enjoy being touched? In fact, lots of types of therapies rely on our sense of touch. Also, touching is a way to show another person he/she is appreciated, loved and needed.

That is what sex is all about. It's the way couples appreciate each other, love, and revel in each other.

That's why marriage without sex is a body without a soul. And moreover couples who enjoy good sexual intimacy can face any storm that befalls on their marriage.
