How much do you value physical intimacy in a relationship?

Sometimes I feel it’s overvalued but other times I find that it’s a major factor in the success of the relationship.

Its a double edged sword. Physical intimacy is ruining relationship as each gets overly exposed to the other by living together. So the best is not to live together and spend only a few hours a week of intimacy. Rest can be managed by phone / texts. The other extreme of no physical intimacy for long, will also end the relationship, as other factors would come in between.
