It's absolutely, entirely possible! My husband and I dated for five years before we got married, and both of us came to the marriage bed as virgins, which was *awesome* if I might say so myself. We didn't rush to the altar because of sex or anything; we dated and waited until we were really ready to take on the responsibility of marriage (and the possible consequences of sex within marriage, like kids!), and then we got married when the time was right for us.
It's one of the best decisions we've ever made, and it just made the relationship more beautiful.
Abstaining for life is another matter. It's fine to abstain for life, but I don't think you should be in a romantic relationship with the intention of never ever ever having sex (even if you get married). Doesn't seem fair to either person. Romantic feelings inevitably lead to sexual attraction and desires...that's just the way we were created. JMO though.
