I might say sex life - mostly because I've seen what not having one over the long term does to my ability to stay present in a loving way.
I wouldn't commit to an ongoing sexual relationship with someone unless I could trust and respect them as an individual (ie: I could imagine having a solid love life with them), but historically I've found partnerships hard to sustain if my partner has no sustained interest in my sexuality. Long-term over months and years, it takes its toll on feeling connected and desirable in their presence.
