Jethro,

Quoting Umbrella24:
You CAN get the passion back. There are so many ways of doing it, if you are both willing. And that's the real beauty of it. YOU ARE BOTH WILLING!!


Bingo! I think Umbrella has an excellent point here. I know my H and I used to love to go out dancing when we first started dating. Of course we stopped going out once the kids came along (big mistake). A few years ago, we went out dancing again (it was "retro" night, so it was the same music we had danced to when we were dating), and it really connected us. I now think if we invested more into maintaining that connection, my H would still be here. It would be worth thinking about what kinds of things you did together early on that you really enjoyed, and maybe haven't done lately.

I also agree that it is very important that you are friends. What better basis for a good loving relationship?

take good care,
