That's what I mean. Sex is great. But why build a life around it? I have sex and enjoy sex. I have been married and faithful to my wife since I was sixteen years old. We have been married 32 years. We have four kids. Sex must have played a part. But she is 50 now and I am going to be 49 next month. We love each other. We don't have to have sex to show it. It is a treat! Our respect and love transcends the need for genital contact. If I never had sex again, I could be satisfied. I love my wife and will never stop. She is my wife. Forever and ever. I agree that mariage is based on sex. That's what founds it. The delicious part is the maturity that is found in the years that follows. A man and a woman bonded so that they never want to be apart. A pair that share children. They share grandchildren. If sex guides your life, you are an idiot. You have lost out on the other 99.99% aspects that make it special. After all, you can do that by yourself. Loser.

Apologies are in order.

I wasn't going to copy and paste that, but changed my mind because it needs to be repeated.

I'm assuming the last few sentences after 'If sex guides your life...' weren't addressed to me, because we're in agreement. Unfortunately, too many people our age and younger have been brainwashed into incredibly false expectations about what constitutes fulfullment : emotional, sexual...any kind. They want instant, complete gratification, and they want it NOW. Like the see on TV and the movies.

Therein lies the cause of 99 percent of our society's problems today.

"I have been married and faithful to my wife since I was sixteen years old."

Today's society condemns such irresponsible acts as getting married in High School. Its ok to have sex in High School, but not get married.

Getting Married should only happen after you are well established in your career and you have socked away engough cash to be able to put your kids in a high dollar day-care, private school and also be able to buy the latest electronic technology and take multiple vacations as a family. Then also, one has to remember to get a new car every couple of years, live in a trendy neighborhood, be able to go out to eat at least 3 times a week (excluding lunch everyday), have the most expensive wireless package, belong to a high caliber fitness center and have 438 cable or satellite channels.

One should hold out for a mate who shares the same ideals as mentioned above.

And she probably knows that but you still have sex anyway, even on some days when she's tired and would rather not. And you probably fold clothes and do dishes on some days when you're tired and would rather not.

That's IT, folks. The secret to a long and happy marriage. :-)
