I think it ultimately depends on the individual couple. I guess it could work for some people. Personally, I would have a hard time dealing with a sexless marriage, but it depends on the reason for my partner not wanting sex. Ultimately, it boils down to a lack of needs being met, which is obviously a critical part of any relationship. When a woman becomes disinterested in sex, it is often because she feels her needs aren't being met in other areas of the relationship. Sex seems to become a source of power for the woman in those type of situations. As for ramifications, I think it generally results in both parties feeling like their needs aren't being met, one emotionally and one physically, which creates further distance between the couple. Communication is the key to prevent such things.
