Is sex really "that" important in a relationship?

Is sex really that important in a relationship?
Don't get me wrong, sex IS important in a relationship, after all, bad sex can end one, but is it as important as some people make it out to be? Short term or friends with benefits relationships aside, if you were to map the entirety of your last long term relationship, was the number 1 or 2 or 3 thing keeping you in that relationship and keeping you happy, actually the sex?

I can't imagine that to be true because let's say they got sick with something like cancer, and weren't in the mood for various obvious reasons, would you just break up---I feel like if sex were the be all, end all, or as important as some people made it out to be, more people would break up a lot sooner.
