Would you stay in a relationship with someone you loved if there was going to be no sex, garuanteed?

[Everin]

So, I've been going out with this great girl for a while and we've been spending a lot of time together and all that and we're pretty sure we're in love (i say pretty sure because nothings really taken for granted in my world) and we kiss and all that, but she's Christian and believes that pre-marital sex is sin. Now, I'm not here to complain, I'm completely fine with following her views with that, but I wondered, would other people?
If you were deeply in love with a girl/boy and you wanted to take it a step further but they didn't believe in sex before marriage then would you accept that fact or would you not want to be with them anymore? I guess the question, when it boils down, is:
WOULD YOU BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE IF THERE WAS NO SEX UNTIL YOU WERE MARRIED, GARUANTEED?

Edit: I'm fine with waiting until after marriage to sleep together. In fact, I don't think the relationship needs sex, I think it would be a nice something on the side, cause that's not what I'm in it for. That's my answer

 

[Aris Khandr]

Absolutely. Love is about more than just sex.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

I'd be a bit disturbed if they told me out and out "Pre-marital sex is the work of the devil". I have gone out with someone who believed it was a sin, and I was fine with that, but hey, wording is everything these days.

 

[Irridium]

If I really loved her, I would still be with her.

Love requires compromise. From both parties. If she's fine with my general weirdness, I'm fine with her not wanting to have sex until marriage.

 

[NeutralDrow]

I'd stay in a relationship if there was a promise of no sex ever (depending on reason), which is what I thought you were asking.

None until marriage? In a case like yours, there would be other reasons I doubt I would last long in the relationship, but the simple idea of not having sex until after marriage isn't a dealbreaker, no.

You should watch Pushing Daisies.

 

[Soulgaunt]

Hmm, depends. Does that rule out everything sex-related, or just sex? If the former, it'd be difficult. Otherwise, I could manage. She'll be rather disappointed, though.

 

[trooper6]

Nope.

First off, as an atheist, someone that religious is going to be incompatible with me long term.
Second, I follow the advice of my mother who told me that you should not enter into a long term serious legal commitment like marriage without having sex with that person and living with them for at least a year.

 

[WaReloaded]

Absolutely.
I'm lucky enough to have found love, and I'd do anything to keep what I have as love and what I feel is so much more important to me than sex.

 

[Kpt._Rob]

Yeah, absolutely. Back in the day I was in a pretty similar situation with a girl for about a year. We'd fool around, but no actual sex. And honestly, it didn't bother me at all. I was crazy about that girl. Unfortunately, as the result of a combination of the fact that 1) she was going to move for college and 2) I stopped being a Christian, she broke up with me. Years later, we're really good friends now, and to be honest if I thought she would be interested in me, I'd get back together with her in a second, but since I'm not a Christian it's not going to happen. I've come to accept that, and it's alright, but if you've found someone who you care about and who cares about you, then don't let sex get in the way of it. People (especially virgins) tend to make a much bigger deal out of sex than it actually is, it's just another activity you can participate in and you shouldn't let it run your life. So yeah, if I were in a relationship with someone who I really cared about, and they didn't want to have sex until marriage for whatever reason, it wouldn't bother me at all. I'd just be glad to have someone to be close with.

 

[Kakashi on crack]

Well, it depends.

I would stay with them anyways if I truly loved them, but if it was a constant topic they brought up even when I told them I was fine with their beliefs and such, it would get annoying real fast.

I understand how people feel about certain things such as pre-martial sex from personal views or religious views, and I perfectly accept that as long as they don't force a constant bashing into my head of that ideal. I only need to be told once, and occasionally twice before I get it through my head

 

[Paksenarrion]

I wish I wish I had kept my V card.

 

[Astoria]

Of course I'd stay with them. Love is a lot more important than sex to me.

 

[HobbyJim]

To quote Ben Croshaw: "In short, no. In long, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."

Sex is an EXTREMELY vital part of any relationship in which you claim to "love" somebody (aside from family members and good friends). Sex is a vital bodily necessity to begin with, so not doing it could prove harmful.

 

[omicron1]

Seeing as I'm Christian and believe as outlined in the OP, absolutely.

The one relationship I've been in (it lasted about 1.5 years), we didn't even kiss - the idea being that by abstaining from the lesser act there would be no temptation to go farther.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Absolutely. Love is about more than just sex.

quoted for truth

sex might be important, but its not THE MOST important part of a long lasting relationship, I'd say trust is more important then sex anyday

 

[loc978]

Love and sex are two completely separate concepts, to me. I love my friends. I've had sex with a few of them. I've also played video games or gone shooting with all of them. It's all just a matter of preference, and sex is no more a part of my love for any of them than the empty cans we've shot together. Sex is merely an activity.

Marriage under any circumstances, though... I'll join HobbyJim in paraphrasing Mr. Croshaw:
Short: No. Long: Noooooooooooooooooooooooo.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Depends. How old are you? And how long until you get married?
