Some people want lifelong celibacy, others monogamy, others serial monogamy, others polyamory. Some married couples are basically platonic and don’t have sex at all. There is no right or wrong when it comes to sex, only what’s healthy or unhealthy for each individual or couple. When we deny our human nature—and sexual desire certainly lies at the very core of human nature—we will not have healthy sexual relationships. And therefore we will not have healthy romantic relationships either. Well-being cannot be nurtured in a lie.
