After reading through these comments, some of them have left me feeling very repulsed by the mindset of the stereotypical "average joe". If you're going to leave randomly deflamatory statements about your spouse on a public forum, Gee I can't possibly fathom why she(or he) may not want to have relations with you.
Too many relationships are built solely on the sex and when one side's libido dies down after a while, there's no steady terrain to continue on. There's nothing to relate to anymore to even call it a Relationship.
My fiance and I have been living together for the past two years in an abstinant relationship because our beliefs are that sex is for marriage and not beforehand. Far too many people ask us how we can be compatible if we've never had sex, and to me that's the strangest question in the world. He doesn't stay with me solely for sex, nor is that the reason I stay with him - Love and friendship and just being able to relate to each other without having to put up a facade about who we really are is what marriage used to be about and that's what our marriage will be about.
Not to say that there's never any talk of sex. He tells me he wants me and there's always passion in our lives but it's not what's important about our being together. It's not the be-all-end-all aspect of becoming husband and wife, though. Too many comments here have been so mean towards either side of the argument - insulting and flaming spouses and marriage in general - and it's no wonder why they're not happy if that's how they react to something so simple as a few suggestions on keeping your lives interesting after you've been married a while.
