Not to dis the sex, but it is the deeper meaning of intimacy, the knowledge of each other, that makes it a relationship. I've been married almost 30 years, we were (and are) best friends, and there is something very deep there....
Sex in that context is an affirmation, an extension of that intimacy, not the entire meaning of being together, but still an integral part of it.
You're right though, Donna and the Doctor remind me of an old married couple. They knew each other so well, complemented each other....best friends, and everyone mistook them for a couple.
