I agree with you 100%... However, people should realistically take a look at marriage and decide whether they can or cannot handle some of the tough situations that inevitably arise in marriage.
For example, I love sex. If it were up to me I'd have sex for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, however I know that many women don't want sex that much and would be content with sex once a week or once every two weeks.
Regardless of how much I love a woman I could not get married to her if sex would only happen once in a blue moon. I don't believe in infidelity so I'd rather remain single than be in a sexless marriage and having to fight off the temptation to cheat.
If I were in a situation like midgard it would be tough on me because at one point I would be suspicious as to whether my wife is really chronically sick or whether she's using it as an excuse to deny me sex. It may sound selfish, but I'd rather not be married than be in a sexless marriage.
