Can one have a happy marriage/relationship with little sex?

I wouldn't want a sexless marriage. I think, at least for me, sex is an integral part of a healthy relationship.

Yes I thinks its possible. I agree with a lit of things people are saying. Sex is important but initmacy is Eben more in more. Happiness and fullfillment I believe comes from deep love. Appreciation and respect for one another and intimacy. Intimacy doesn't always equate to sex.

My husband and I have two very different sex drives. I have a much higher seex drive than him. But he makes a consciencious effort to be with me. I know that I don't get nearly as often as I would like but you know he satisfies me beyond measure both in and out of the bedroom. I'm happy. I think tthat is pretty amazing!

You know is it hard sometimes? Yeah

Can you still be happy? Yes

People make it work. Are you happy? Is happy? Are you saisfied and filfilled? If yes then isn't that all that matter?

I agree, it is definitely possible. If both people are happy and feel fulfilled and satisfied, then it doesn't matter if you have "a lot" of sex or "a little" sex, because who defines that anyway? If it works for you, then you are both a good fit for each other. If one of you is feeling frustrated or lonely then it could be a problem, but every relationship is different, and it isn't necessarily a problem in and of itself.

yes you can still be happy and have a relationship with out sex. My parents have been married for 30 yrs and my mom found out she had cancer and my dad had stood by her through it all and its in a region that sex is a no no.

Also i've been married about 6.5 years, and we had a strong relationship before sex ever came in the relationship. I think a relationship has to be formed before two people can make a commentmint. Basically a relationship not based on sex

Well, if it works for you, then I guess it can work in general!
