Do newly-weds need to have sex?

Neither of them wants to. If they love one another and get on like a house on fire, isn't that enough? They have known one another for years. They certainly don't want any midviwery inovlved. She loves him; he loves her.

They are married so whatever they do or don't do is up to them, although it would be best if they are of a like mind, which it seems they are.

No, they don't need to if they don't want to. It's their own decision and they should not be pressurised into behaving a certain way sexually because of others' opinions. However, they should discuss between themselves about whether they want to have sex with other people and not themselves or something like that, so that they know they're both on the same page and so that both people are satisfied with the situation.

I cant see how they love each other yet not want sex
They married more for companionship then ?
Having sex need not involve midwifery
There,s lots of birth control out there
Its a shame a good relationship usually has it all
 
You are using the wrong word here (need).

No one `needs` to have sex. The way you have written your question makes it sound as though you have to have sex, just because you have got married.

No one `has` to have it either. It`s up to the couple.
But...bear in mind it is very natural to want sex - the human race (like all sexual creatures) are hard-wired for it. It is a strong natural instinct and impulse, so I would say it is an unnatural situation to be married for any length of time, and not feel a strong physical desire to want sex. It should just happen.

Getting easy to spot these "hate the midwife" questions. I can't tell you how curious I am to know the story behind this irrational fear of pelvic exams, "Steve" and "Fran".

But, so as not to get a VN for not answering the questions. a couple can certainly choose whether they want theirs to be a sexual relationship or not. However, nature (God) gave us married sexual intimacy as a gift to couples. Newlywed sex serves the same purpose as breastfeeding does for new mother and infant: to create a hormonal and emotional bond to help the couple/ mother and child get through an inevitable adjustment period.

They have to have sex once or they aren't actually considered married. you have to consummate the marriage for it to be considered so legally.
But it sounds more like a friendship than a marriage to me. If you aren't physically attracted to someone, why on earth would you marry them?

And I'm guessing by "midviwery" you mean a midwife? If so, that is only needed if you become pregnant and choose to have the child at home.
