I feel like we've achieved long term success in having a relatively happy marriage, except for sex, which continues to be a nagging issue.
If I measure the success of our marriage purely in terms of sex, we're failing miserably. By most other barometers, I think we're doing very well indeed. The last time we had sex, things were still pretty rocky, and I hope that if we ever get around to trying it again things might go better on the sexual front. But they may not.
I'm not willing to divorce over just the issue of sex, and this is frustrating enough that I really want to hope that sex will work out too. But if it doesn't, I still think our marriage is succeeding. As frustrating as sex is, it's important to not get bitter about it if I don't want it to poison the rest of our marriage.
