Salaam brother.
To the best of my knowledge, lack of intimacy or sex does not invalidate a marriage without divorce. But it is an important part of marriage. Lack of intimacy major problem which needs to be resolved. Do you know the reason for lack of intimacy. If there is a problem in the marriage causing it, you should both sit down and resolve it and work on your marriage. Without further details I cannot comment further.
Please read this answer.

Mohammed,
I agree with Sara. Can you give a little more information? It's difficult to offer advice when the information is so little.
Salam
salaamu'alaykum wr wb
brother, if both you and your wife are ok with not having any physical contact, then you have no problem, so long as there is no grudge.
i guess by refraining from eachother for two whole years, you must be ok with this kind of relationship
not all marraiges are built upon love, physical relations everynight, thats a dream, love comes and it goes, the extreme desire to have sexual contact comes and goes.
love comes and goes, you may wake up one day to find that the person you love most [your wife, best friend etc], is the most hated to you and viceversa.
sometimes a couple just have to live together in a brother/sister miserable relationship for the sake of their children's sake and making sure they have have a good, islamic, secure, strong upbringing.
when their children grow up and go their own ways, the couple can then probably go and find "fresh" love as they call it, eventhought they would probably be old by then.
but the point is that even if you are not happy in your marraige, you stay for the sake of your children and raise them well together.
if you are able to do so, polygyny may be a possibility for you.

Brother abu zubayr, salaam,
Do you think it is better that a couple with children part their ways and divorce or fight like cats and dogs, or even not talk at all, yet live under the same roof for their childrens sake?
i think the last one is the best option in my eyes.
if a couple with lots of children divorce, the woman keeps the children, she will need to remarry for support/happiness etc, but i dont think any man would allow any other man besides him to be around his children [especially if there are girls amongst], apart from maybe a selfish one with no gheerah.
likewise if a couple with children divorce and the man keeps the children under his gardianship all the time, he is going to need a woman to take care of those children while he works, goes to masjid etc and also to fufill his desire he will need to remarry, but again, no sane woman on this planet would allow would allow another woman to be around her children and to take care of them as if they belong to her.apart from a woman who is selfish and wants to follow her desires.
the children need their mother, and they also need their father.laazim.
neither of the parents would allow a third party to get involved in their childrens lives.
so, the best option would be to live under the same roof, and avaoid any violence, and to keep the deep anger, grudges within themselves.
if they dont get their desires fulfilled, the frustration will be overcome by the joy of seeing their children have a good upbringing and grow up to be efficient, intelligent, strong,able muslims/mu'mins, rather than grow upto be a bunch of dysfunctional, hatefull, angry mob.
-this is just a personal opinion-
Brother,
Sex in a marriage is most important and healthy for both of you. Not knowing any information about the whole situation and why there is no sex makes giving any response difficult.
you need to be having this disscussion with your wife. Find out why the sex has stopped.
But if they staytogether for the sake of the children the marridge becomes a sexless marridge? How would either party furfill thier desire? Needs?
If there is NO intimacy and couple has been married for more than two years, will marriage still valid. No physical relationship because man is saying that there is no attraction...
