Husband and wife remaining together without being intimate

Q: What is the importance of sex in Islam. Is it allowed for husband and wife to remain without sex for couple of years.

A: If both are very comfortable without it and there is no possibility of them getting attracted to wrong temptations it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
