Is "great sex" ever enough?

While talking to my one of my older relatives, she made a very interesting
revelation to me: She married her husband for the great sex.

Now, she and her husband have been married for nearly 20 years and have
kids, but she readily admits this is the reason she got in it. Now there are
plenty of times when they obviously drive each other insane and seem
incompatible. But she says the sex is still great and she doesn't want
anybody else and she's willing to work it out.

But when you think about it, how many people, especially those of a
particular sex, think a relationship can be built off of good sex. After one
night with a person, they think they've found the love of their life when it
was just a good night.

How many people do you think get married because of "great sex"? When basing
a relationship on this, do you believe it has potential for a real future?

While, yes, sex is an important part of a marriage, it's not the be all and end all either. By that I mean, say you marry someone with whom you have great sex. 30 or 40 years down the road he may end up with health problems that make having sex difficult, if not impossible. Is there enough to hold your marriage together should the sex go away? Do you love each other? Share common interests and values? Sometimes there is great sex and nothing else in a relationship. Take away the sex and there is nothing to hold the relationship together.

Strive to have both--good sex and a good relationship. Just know that things can and do change as you age.

The "great sex" just doesn't last after you get married. The woman usually grows cold first and that drives the man to look elsewhere for affection. Marriage changes the desire for sex with that same person for life!! With that said stay single everyone unless sex is not a priority for you.

A wise friend told me recently that pizza is like sex, when it's good that's great, when it's not so good, then it's still pretty good

I disagree...if sex isn't good then why bother????? Find someone else...life is too short to not enjoy!!!!!
