Yes a physical relationship is as important as a friendship in which you communicate well and have some things in common.
On the physical relationship side of it, I don't know if you are a male or female but either way, I will share what I know as a female and from what i have read.
A female needs more than just sexual intercourse. Things like stopping for a quick kiss or hug as you interact at home while doing chores or cooking shows your love and keeps the flame alive. There is lots of touch that both a man or woman will enjoy and builds intimacy between them, playing with each others hair, rubbing their back, playful pats on their bottom, the tickles or shivers that stroking your fingers anywhere on the body can give, as well as looking--really looking into each others eyes.
I am in my 2nd marriage. In the first, though we had sex, we were sexually mismatched. Both he and I were doing everything right but did not inspire that sort of passion in each other where I could get orgasms or he felt desire for me. He never desired me, just had sex for the release for him, and I was willing but never fulfilled. Being young, we had no idea what the problem was. You won't know the difference until you have experienced it yourself. So in closing, while physical relations are one of two important foundations for any successful rewarding loving relationship, having a sexual chemistry is also an important factor, not just having sex and not being fulfilled by it.

The importance of anything is solely based on the importance you put on it. A physical relationship could be 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 for someone and a 5 for someone else. This could be a cause for a problem in a marriage if one person needed more in intimacy in a relationship.
Then there is another problem with to be concerned with. Basing a marriage strictly on one portion of a marriage is also a basis for failure. Sex will only take a marriage so far. One day you wake up and find you need to communicate and fined either you can't communicate or like the example above your are mismatched in that area.
Marriage is not just sex. Marriage is you entire life merged into someone else's life. That does not mean either partner must or is expected to give up their identity for the other. It means that there is going to be a need for compromise on the part of both partners. This is what the engagement period or even living together is all about prior to actually getting married. This is the time when you find out just how compatible the two of you are and whether or not your love is simply a physical or sexual attraction.
I realize my answer was longer than you might have expected. Though after 42 years and still going strong married to the same women. To me your question was more complex than you may have realized.
