Can A Relationship Without Sex Last?

Let me start with this, that sex cannot make your relationship last. It is not even a factor. Yes, sex before marriage is becoming the new normal but there are a lot of relationships that are healthy, happy and survive without sex. Religions like Christianity and Islam culture do not support pre-marital sex. The important thing is you and your partner need to agree on these terms. This is not a one-man decision, if it is, then you are in the relationship alone just like you made the decision.

If your partner does not agree then they are likely to cheat on you because they want sex. It is best to find someone who has mutual feelings like you. If you both agree to it, start to work on yourself and your self-control and you will definitely pull it off without cheating on anyone. In the end, it is all about sensibility, focus and commitment.

This is for people who are not married yet. A relationship i.e marriage should involve sex, if it doesn’t then there is a problem.  A marriage without sex is not a viable one. There is a problem and it is important to figure it out before it gets worse.

Generally, one of the things that make relationships last is commitment and understanding. Even if you both are sexually active and there is no commitment, the relationship won’t last. Anyone or therapist who tells you that you have to be sexually active to keep a woman or a man lied to you. Finding someone who wants the same thing should be your priority and it is easier from there. Everyone is different, what is a priority to some might not be for others. It all depends on personal beliefs and desires. For instance; some people are busy thinking about how sexually compatible they are with their partner while some people don’t even care about that, they just want a rich partner who will spend on them and some will tell you they want someone that is god fearing and is willing to wait for sex after marriage. 

Sex Is Not The Only Way To Have Intimacy With Your Partner

Affectionate touch is also a good way to be intimate with your partner. This includes; 

Holding hands, hugs, massages, kisses and cuddling. Apart from physical intimacy, you can be intimate with your partner emotionally. Like having vulnerable conversations, honesty, being truthful and so on. 

Not everyone needs to have sex in a relationship for it to be happy and healthy, some people do and it works for them but some have sex and they still break up. The bottom line is this, compatibility. Find someone who wants it. Sexual activity is not a necessity for a healthy relationship.
