Should a couple wait until marriage to be intimate?

I personally don't think that is necessary, but I am posting this question because someone else posted it before but deleted it. The original poster of this question may answer, it won't be deleted this time.

I don't think waiting is a good idea. What if one person really doesn't have any interest in sex while the other does? Unless they really talk about their interest in this way then it could cause a lot of relationship stress and most couples don't communicate that well with sex even when they are doing it so to expect it all to be spelled out before hand seems unlikely.
