Hey JustLearning, O2bsane, FA, NB, Mudder, and Murphy,<P>I agree that sex is a prime motivator in a relationship, and of course it affects the decisions we make when selecting a relationship partner. No argument from me.<P>However, the original question asked was whether it was the ONLY reason men get married. I do not think it is the only reason men (or women) get married, and from your posts I think you agree.<P>The whole statement is very stereotypical anyway, just as New Beginning brought to light. Sex is my number one EN, much higher than on my husband's list. And as much as I love my husband, and have since the day we met, I wouldn't have married him if it were impossible for us to have sex. I also wouldn't divorce him if it became impossible now.<P>I agree that sex is the primary factor in a relationship for most people, and not just men. I also certainly agree with New Beginning that a fabulous sex life has helped many marriages survive through other problems.<P>So, I agree with everything JL and FA said in their posts, can totally relate to New Beginning (children of the 70's that we are), and adore what O2bsane and Mudder said in their posts.<P>As for Murphy, all I can say is that I just made up the $50 figure, but you seem to know WAY to much about the whole money for sex thing for my comfort level!! I find it hard to believe that any man sensitive enough to be a MB regular would have to pay for it anyway, you know that we women just LOVE sensitive men!!<P>You guys are all great!!<P>Peppermint<P>
