Sexual intimacy is central to making a relationship last. My parents have been married for 26 years; Dad still kisses Mom every chance he gets. Every relationship I know of that has lasted a long time--including my SO's grandparents (married 51 years)--has lasted because of continued sexual intimacy.
So if she's already talking about decreasing that intimacy and not replacing it with anything else, not creating any other kind of intimacy or an alternative, I'd be really concerned. You should be having a very serious conversation about this. The fact that she has already issued an ultimatum about this is concerning, especially considering there are lots of possible workarounds for that kind of situation--leaving a TV on to make noise, turning on music, turning on a fan. Being unwilling to compromise in order to find a solution is very worrisome in terms of a successful future relationship.
