How about taking your wife on a nice vacation instead of nagging with her. Make it a second honeymoon,nice and romantic. Learn to enjoy each other and enjoy life.

There is one curse in life "Time with no money, and money, but no time." Hopefully you have at least a little of each by now.
"The purpose of life is to be happy, but happiness is a by-product, not a goal."
Something my mother told me years ago. Long marriages don't have to be dull -- You can read a book called "For you Both" by Lonnie Barbach -- THE leading sex therapist in the nation today -- get it and others she has written cheap on Amazon.com -- yours by Friday. My ex and I liked to travel. We have been all over the world -- sub-Saharan Africa 6 countries, Egypt -- learned to read heiroglyphics from books ordered on Amazon. Was fluent, too!!!! Nepal was fun, Brazil lovely, and Costa Rica, easy and beautiful. We had interests in plants -- we lived in the desert -- so Sonorhan desert plants are different from Mojave desert plants. Both of us were into photography, so have photos of lion, leopard, bear and plants that are publishable. Geology of the Western United States is an awsome study. If there are lapadary classes in your community college system, join one. If you have an interest in art, drawing, painting, sculpture, classes are available. Frankly, TV is just a big bore. We owned a 4wd vehicle, and went out into the abyss and camp for a weekend. Now I understand that lots of women don't much like to do things like that, and often marriage get lazy -- we take each other for granted, and no longer do things for each other --- she undoubtedly has settled into a niche that she is comfortable in, and maybe doesn't want her cage rattled, and if you cannot convince her that you wish to be more adventurous, I'd seek counseling, even if it is by yourself. Your marriage may be over -- mine was after 18 years. And, I ended up leaving, and met a man who likes to do these same kinds of things that I do.
So, you and she need a long discussion about what your needs and wishes are. That may mean some counseling, because there are ways to make you needs known without being offensive, and I'd suggest a mediator -- a therapist. Was this helpful, sweetie?

Dear Sir; Volunteer in your favorite activity. Like to do home repairs? Every church and senior group likes that kind of help. Like to be involved in business? The Small Business Administration has the SCORE volunteers to assist new businesses in starting. Like watching sports? Volunteer with any level of children's sports teams - even college sports often can use skilled volunteers to assist with equipment. Some professional teams use volunteers to take people on tours of the stadiums. Golf clubs use volunteers to assist with crowd control during tournaments. My husband goes to a local coffee shop and writes on his lap top and talks to whoever comes in the door. There was a hospice volunteer I know who went to the Cancer wing and mixed cocktails for all the patients at least once a week while another person played lounge piano. Be creative! Get out there and live!
