Perhaps the economic consequences of seperation seem too great to leave . . .

But what you are describing is essentially friendship. I think a lot of people stay in relationships that have devolved into mere friendship. Where familiarity and sporadic bursts of affection have replaced romantic love . . .

Where that is the case, do you advocate people stay in the marriage to preserve the friendship or economic union and seek exciting sexual relations outside the marriage?

I think that sex in any relationship should be motivated by much more than a periodic release of tension . . Which is what it often becomes in relationships where the romantic love has faded.

I want to marry James!
