Is a spouse who refuses intimacy breaking the marriage vows?

When a person cheats on their mate its an obvious breaking of the vows. But when a person refuses intimacy is that a violation as well?
For this discussion. The couple gets along well otherwise. No major conflicts, same values, social circles, sense of humor, enjoy each others company, one of them just doesn't enjoy sex. They just do not have the desire and seem themselves as asexual. The nonsexual partners expectation is that the other partner honor their wishes to not engage in sexual activity and forgo their own needs.
 
it does not break the marriage vows however it's one of the worse things you can do to the relationship.
once you lose the desire to show your passion to your partner more things fall apart. the communication the trust it's like driving a car on a flat tire for ever.
you might get somewhere but look at what your ruining on the car to get there.

plus it also shows that one doesn't know how to use their words to fix an issue..
with holding sex hurts both people no just the one wanting it.
and if it does feel that way huge red flag.
 
Well if there is no conflict, then the other partner probably enjoys snuggling in bed instead of sex. Theres many females who just dont enjoy as well as men for many reasons. There just has to be a pact between the couple so there wont be problems in the future.
 
Is not breaking the marriage vows in a literal sense, but is breaking the promise to LOVE each other... the sex part falls under love so you can interpret it as such.
 
It depends on why they are refusing it. If they are refusing it because the other person is a selfish jerk then probably not! Ideally in a relationship you communicate your needs and you both work together to make sure the other person is happy. Intimacy is important and there should be an open line of communication to see what the problem is.
Good luck!
