Re: love life
Companionship is far more important, life is full of stress and sometimes long term illness. Put too much importance on sex and a marriage will not last. Closeness is the key, laughter is also important as well as communication. If you have all these things - you have a lasting bond.

Re: love life
I agree - A good mix of both.In his last televised interview, Sir John Betjeman was asked if he had any regrets.. He thought for a moment and then replied "I wish I'd had more sex".
I don't think there's many who would be disgusted by the term "sex life", but I once heard someone say, "when you're young, you have sex. When you're old, you make love" .

Yes, I think it's a mixture of both. Companionship with your lover.

Re: love life
Yes I also agree with a healthy mixture of both, with lots of laughter thrown in. As we get older we don't always have the pressures of jobs, kids etc to put a damper on our sex life, so we should be able to enjoy it just as much if not more than when we were young.Don't see why the sex/love making should diminish in later years, depends on your libido I suppose.

Young people can be sickened at the thought of us older folk having sex, but they forget, we did it all before them
