The older people get, typically the less important sex gets and the more important companionship gets. This is one reason why old women sometimes live together, even if they aren't lesbians.
Romance is more variable. Sometimes it declines alongside sexuality, going from romantic sexual to aromantic sexual or similar. Other times it actually increases to pick up the slack, so the relationship shifts from romantic sexual to romantic asexual or thereabouts.
