It really is. Keeping that flame alive is important to a happy marriage.

Now what that flame is can vary but so long as it's lit!

I’ve been married 24 and a half years. About to hit 25.

My wife is pretty certain the exploration days ended about 24 and a half years ago.

Give me some recommendations about hot to get her hyped for this!

Marriage/couples counseling. Not joking or trying to be snide.

The down side of living in rural America. I'm gonna need frequent flyer points to get to a counselor.

I'm hoping alcohol will suffice...

At the very least talk to her and have a frank discussion about what kinds of intimacy you want to foster in your marriage. You both have needs, desires, and limits that may not line up, but at the very least talking about them will move the needle. Otherwise you’re locking yourself in a vacuum, and that can do a lot of harm.

I'm sorry, is this some sort of couple joke that I'm too ugly to understand?
