"Well, "Gridlock," is still wrong.
Sexual attraction is still high over here, after many years of marriage and several kids later. Can you imagine being single and reading that? Not much of a recommendation for marriage."
Surely a marriage such as yours is not based on sexual attraction ***alone***. Surely it is founded on love and mutual respect as well, isn't it?
What gridlock seems to be saying is that the love and mutual respect are *necessary,* that sexual attraction ***alone*** is inadequate to sustain a long-term relationship.
