Surprise your wife sometimes! You can do something romantic (like sending her flowers with a card asking her for a date!) Romance her once in awhile, if you get a chance and have the money, give her something special, or share some time taking walks and holding hands and talking to each other. I think communication is important. If she has a problem, tell her you want to help then really listen, and try to be helpful.
If you see that she is weary be considerate, offer a non-sexual massage, and let her know that you are all about love for her and your family! Show her she is cherished and treasured, and "be there" as her partner in all things (when possible).
Do not make everything about YOU. Let her know that you care about what she has to say, and that you want her to talk about what she needs. I think all of what I have mentioned might help to keep a marriage exciting. Aside from that once in awhile just for the "benefit" of it, nuzzle her neck and whisper, "I love you...or "Your perfume is intoxicating", or something romantic that may sound sappy and odd, but women like that kind of attention, let her know that she still rocks your worlld! Even in a public place! It's fine! Tell her you are proud to have such a fine lady like her on your arm! Keep your eyes and especially YOUR HANDS offa any "strange"...and remember to believe the things you tell her.
These are some things that have worked on me. I am hooked! Hook, line and sinker! I have a good man, who loves me even when I am making breakfast in my robe and slippers. He will give me a loving squeeze and tell me he loves me BEFORE he tells me how he wants his eggs cooked!
Good luck, and if you are faithful and care about yourself, and her, and do not be afraid to keep up your own personality and appearance for her too! I want to tell you that just asking this question tells me that you are in love, and I think you want to show your love. I think that's great!

going out and doing things are not what keep, a marriage strong and healthy.. but it's always nice to be spontaneous and doing things like taking walks and going on a picnic watching the sunset because those things you will always remember.. now the movies you can't even talk to one another nor see how is that going to keep the spark in your marriage.. And the most important thing in a marriage is always try to understand one another feeling and always try to fulfill there every want and need to one another that's what keeps the marriage strong and healthy and never lose the passion because that is also really important..

try doing some things that she likes and knows you dont care for this will let here feel secure with relationship and ask her to do things ou like and she dont care much for i am not talkign about things in the bedroom things like going to an opera and take her to a baseball game and alwayas do things you both like to do, if she likes you to buy her flowers well try this try getting a green thumb and grow her some of her own she will appreciate the effort and if the y grow well she will love it more then the store bought.. keep her involved in all decisions you have to make at work and home unless they require a security clearance the n it is undrstandable.....Try to go back a little in time and do some of the things got you two together in thefirst place, just spend time together seems to be the biggest thing that keeps things going in the right direction.............

A good marriage does not begin and end in the bedroom. Have a sense of humor. Play little (harmless) practical jokes on one another. Laugh together. Keep up-to-date on news and local events so you can talk about something other than housework. Make his favorite dinner on-the-fly without his asking. I hope you are of the same faith. It helps create a great bond when you can worship together. I do find a difference between couples who attend their church of choice regularly and those who do not.

Talk, then talk some more. And if you have children, remember that you were a couple before you were a family and set aside some time for each other. Get a sitter, send em to grandma's or something and do big people stuff at least twice a month. Mostly though, it's remembering to talk.

Keep it young. Surprises are great (romantic dinners, picnics, I was thinking of you gifts). Make sure you communicate about everything: finances, feelings, dreams and hopes, etc. Talk things out, don't yell it's really useless and doesn't solve anything. Support each others decisions even if you don't totally agree, remember, you are two separate people. Encourage each other to succeed in any endeavor.

compliment what she (he) does, send her (him) roses just because.... It's a known fact that complimenting your significant other rather it be a meal they prepared or a simple pair of jeans they put on to walk the dog in. always make them feel good about themselves but don't lie. You can also tell them when you don't like something such as a certain hairstyle (just don't be harsh or cruel). It makes the other person feel that you are really paying attention to them. In other words, don't let things go unnoticed. Sing to him/her (especially if you can't sing very well!!) it'll make him/her smile and you'll get points. It's the little things that matter most.

Talk, but learn to LISTEN. Ask and then hear what the other says. Care, show affection that doesn't lead to sex, a good hug says lots. Consider how the other wants to be treated and what he/she likes. You can't MAKE anyone happy but you can go a long way toward that by being a best friend, and a lover.

Dates are highly overrated.
Set aside time every week to do two things: 1) talk about what's good and what's not so good and 2) make love.
Do nice things for each other for no particular reason. Be responsible for the words you speak. Be faithful.
