For me, having someone who satisfies the intellectual, emotional and spiritual side of the relationship is far more important as this part rarely dies off. The sex part comes naturally and is far more gratifying long term.

On the other hand, if you view the success of a relationship based on how good they are in bed, they you are bound to fail in the long run. You'll eventually get bored of each other then look for the next fling. Where's the commitment?

Well said mate. The 'physical' side is always changing with age both in looks and activities. If that's all a relationship is based on them I agree, it's set up for failure.
Personally I believe a spouse must have similar/same morals, beliefs and values.
