I would say that sex won't ever 'make' a marriage, but it can certainly wreck it.
Exactly. Anytime you see polls or stats on reasons for divorce, intimacy is always in the top.
Great sex can't save a marriage, but no sex is a great way to lead to divorce.
I disagree. In every statistic I've seen, in every poll I've seen, sexual incompatibility rarely made it into the top five reasons for divorce.
The most common things found among the top three:
InfidelityMoney
Physical, emotional, or psychological abuse
Growing apart/different values/loss of respect
Any and all of these things can affect intimacy. But the fact is that the initial raw passion does cool over time, though sex can be and for many couples is precious and special all the way into the sixties, seventies, eighties. Raw passion or great sex is one of the worst reasons to get married.

Infidelity would be because of a lack of sexual intimacy no?

Infedelity can be because of a bunch of things, I had a married woman sleep with me because she got into a fight with her husband and was angry at him, when he apologized she stopped sleeping with me.

But how realistic is that though? in Saudi Arabia pre marital sex is a crime and punishable by a prison term, and even than people have premarital sex in the Kingdom.
I dont know what "your generation" is, but if you look at the numbers, 1950-1963 only 11% of people were waiting until marriage. 4 Cool Statistics About Abstinence in the USA | WaitingTillMarriage.org
I think sex before marriage used to be considered very bad, so maybe it felt like people were waiting, when behind closed doors, they weren't. There are also other factors, the rise in reliable birth control, the age people are marrying has shifted, as a nation we've become less religious.

I'm almost positive the number of people who when asked if they engaged in premarital sex and they said yes because they necked, is so nominal as to be a non-factor.
Even Grandma had premarital sex, survey finds - Health - Sexual health | NBC News
91% in that poll said they had premarital sex by age 30. I think, your preception was, everyone waited ( which is understandable) however, they only pretended they did.
An yet, the numbers seem to disagree with you. *shrug*
The world you are describing just isn't realistic, do you know how many married couples are cheating on each other? just being married does not protect you from STD's.
When I read her post, lovely as it sounded, I have to admit it reminded me of Pleasantville. Did you see that movie?
No I haven't, I thought Avatar was a guy?
