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

[Raideh]

Cleaned.

 

[Dango]

Of course, I really don't care much about sex and I'm near asexual anyway, and I get pretty pissed off by the idea that sex is a requirement in boyfriend-girlfriend relationships.

 

[MetalDooley]

No.I have no intention of ever getting married so a no sex before marriage rule would be a deal breaker for me

 

[axeman157]

I don't think sex is truly important for a relationship, I do think emotions are the key to a good relationship.

 

[Maxtro]

No way.

Unless she is OK with me having sex with other girls.

 

[Athlonis]

If this person was worth it and I was head over heels in love with them, then I'm pretty sure I'd be able to wait.

I've waited all these years, what's a few more?

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

I would ask her what marriage is. Is it simply the ceremony, does that one day suddenly give you license to practice one of the most deeply spiritual and loving things between two humans? No, to me, if youre truly in love, youre already married, because your souls have entwined. The writers of the bible (Paul especially) merely advised against sexual immorality (and in your case, its anything but immoral here) because being promiscuous can cause pain for you in the long run. I don't believe its a steadfast DO NOT DO rule, how can it be when its such a wonderous act? This is just the perspective if another christian, it is a wide stream of thought we all swim in after all.

And to answer your question straight. Yes, because if id made that commitment to her, sex is a relative non issue, im more concerned about her heart, soul, mind. We'll have sex in time, so its all good.

Sex is a vital bodily necessity to begin with, so not doing it could prove harmful.

No it's not. You can live a long and healthy life and never have sex. Eating is a vital bodily necessity.

As far as I'm concerned, sex is overrated and too much emphasis is put on it. People say sex is the glue that binds relationships together. That's not true, IMO. So, no, it would not be a deal breaker for me. In some ways it takes more effort to show your affection without sex.

Doesn't bother me one bit. People get too physical, too quickly in relationships now days anyways.

 

[Erana]

Sounds like MY kinda relationship.
Gleee, asexuality!
