I'm in a weird situation with this question. I've been married almost 11 years, have two kids, and our relationship is probably as strong as it has ever been. We hardly ever fight or bicker anymore, are very much on the same page as parents, and are living a life (financially) that neither of us could have hoped for even five years ago.
That said, we have sex almost never. We are the typical "sex was best when we were dating" couple, and we've had a lot of miscommunication over the years about it (stemming from her being nearly non-orgasmic, various birth control prescriptions that killed her sex drive, etc.) Plus, for the last 3 years, she's been consulting and away from home 5 days a week.
We went to Europe for a week for our 10th anniversary and had no sex.
I know this would be grounds for divorce for many people, but as I said, our non-sexual relationship is great right now. Also, she got a new job, we're moving next month, and she won't be away from home all the time. The stresses of finances, travelling, etc. will be behind us, so I'm hoping to rekindle the romance. I remain optimistic, and if the sex doesn't come back, will suggest couples counseling or something. Lack of sex can be frustrating, but it's not worth breaking up over.
