Sometimes I wonder why it seems necessary to spend so much time when married trying to keep the spark alive. I don't ever remember trying to do that and one of my marriages lasted fourteen years, before he passed away.
We just went along day after day doing the ordinary things married people do. There was no particular effort put on keeping anything alive, it was alive and kicking. Were we special, or are there others who sustain their marriage without having to force anything?

Great point chatty. I'd have to say that while raising the kids, we made sure we had some kind of date or time together every week. Back then, we dhad to make an effort to do so. Now, we have almost all our time to ourselves.

Be sure that the couple maintain good communication, when both reach home from work be sure to share what had happen to you the whole just to have a simple conversation.
