Many relationships tend to lose their rigor and vigor a while after they start. You find that one of the partners is not content anymore or they have both lost touch with what tickles the other. No one wants to stay in a relationship in which there is no spark of romance or any form of attraction.

The objective truth is that sex is not everything in a relationship, but it is the primary ingredient to having a healthy one. If the sexual drive between two people in a romantic relationship is not matched, then a dispute becomes obvious. Maybe you come home feeling sexy and want to extend that hype to your partner. In a moment, you realize your partner is being distant and cold and not giving a response to your hype. Your body and mind are already aroused and you need some action—sorry, I mean some sex. For some reason, your partner does not give a response in equal measure. Instead, they ignore your needs or avoid responding to them.

Marriages and relationships have been destroyed for this reason.
The main reason we get into romantic relationships is to have a partner. Someone to be goofy with, to touch and feel sexy with. At the very least, your partner needs to be as enthusiastic about sex as you are. Love is like a flower that needs to be watered so that it may not die. Romance, or to be more specific, sex plays a major role in "watering" relationships. Both partners have to take up the role of watering the relationship so that it may not dry out. You have to commit to giving more than you receive and expect the same from your lover. This is the hallmark of love and relationships.

In the beginning, when you first meet your lover, you want to spend all your time with them. Tell them about your boring day, or maybe it was not boring, and most importantly, you want to get intimate with them. The point being, you both tend to be on fire at the beginning. You want each other’s bodies. You want to be locked in each other's arms and feel the warmth, feel the heartbeat. You want to experience how your body reacts to your partner’s touches and they want the same. The flames are always ignited. The tragedy comes when that is no longer the case and the flames go dark and cold. Returning those flames to their once sky-high levels is fundamental. Bringing back up the level of attraction in a relationship after it goes down is not a difficult task. It is an easy one; you just have to be willing, or your partner has to be.

In essence, sex is the creme de la creme of a romantic relationship. When I say sex, I certainly do not mean boring sex. You know the kind that may have your partner sleeping mid-way and leaving you frustrated and wasted. I mean exciting sex, the tantric stuff that will have your lover wanting more and more—the kind that may have both of you lost in the moment or ecstasy, whichever your bodies may choose.

You don’t want to see your partner gloomy because the sex was not exciting enough for them. After all, that is the beginning of trouble. Or maybe their needs are not met equally, like dropping a single raindrop in a desert and expecting to carry out agriculture. This is not about farming, but you get the point.

Romantic relationships are a beautiful thing, a thing of wonder. Imagine two people, totally unrelated, coming together and feeling attached and attracted to each other as if they are made of the same stuff. That is magical and interesting. That magic needs to be protected for as long as it can be. I would say forever, but we are yet to conquer death. If the relationship is right and healthy, that sounds like the equivalent of forever to me. I mean, we only live once, so why not be all in with your lover at all times?
