Can somebody with the mindset that sex is meaningful enough to be cherishable in a romantic relationship explain it to me? I don't want to shit on your beliefs. I just don't get it. I've loved many, many people over the course of my life, and sex has never been a deciding factor in any of them.

Assuming you're either straight or homosexual, have you ever entered a rommantic relationship outside your sexual preference? If no, then sex clearly was a deciding factor in them.

That doesn't account for people who don't like sex at all (asexuals), or people who are romantically attracted to one gender but sexually attracted to another gender (who Karl Ulrichs called "disjunctive uranodionings").  I knew a girl who would only have sex with men but would only masturbate to pictures of naked women.  And as you pointed out, it doesn't account for bisexuals.  They may feel romantic love for both genders but only feel sexual desire for one of them, or they may feel sexual desire for both genders but only feel romantic love for one of them.

If someone can fall in love with somebody who is physically unable to have sex due to illness or injury, then sex and love aren't related.
