via klwalton, an article called "Why Marriages Fail" (http://www.shrinktalk.net/archives/why_marriages_fail_1.phtml) contains the following quote:

couples that don't ever fight eventually don't have sex either. Why? They are both forms of passion. If you give up one form of intensity you'll ultimately leave the other as well.

Is this true in your experience?

Not in my experience.

It may be that people who don't fight because they squelch anything they disagree about are likely to have less sex, because the disagreement doesn't go away and gets in the way of other stuff. But other than that, no.

I don't suppose they'd argue that if your goal was to not fight with someone, what you had to do was simply not have sex with them. Shall we introduce that into international relations?
