Life's responsibilities (children, jobs, etc.) often leave little or no time for the couple that began life's journey together, many times the intimacy shared by the couple is lost as a result. As we age and grow life's experience forces us to evolve and become very different people, through that evolution the relationships needs/wants/goals change, reestablish the intimacy within your relationship and you will rekindle the romance.

Happy couples know that the real relationship begins when the honeymoon is over. They know that unless you maintain the garden of love, its beauty will wither and die.
1. Go to bed at the same time.
2. Cultivate common interests.
3. Walk hand in hand or side by side.
4. Make trust and forgiveness your default mode. If and when they have a disagreement or argument, and if they can't resolve it, happy couples default to trusting and forgiving rather than distrusting and begrudging.
5. Focus more on what your partner does right than what he or she does wrong.
6. Hug each other as soon as you see each other after work.
7. Say "I love you" and "Have a good day" every morning.
8. Say "Good night" every night, regardless of how you feel.
9. Do a "weather" check during the day. Call your partner at home or at work to see how his or her day is going.
10. Be proud to be seen with your partner.

I think you know the answer to this question but here goes....15 years is a long time to be with someone...our natural tendency is to become comfortable and used to that person always being there....so we begin to take things for granted. Problem with that is we then begin to lose site of the other persons happiness or unhappiness with things....It is important to focus on your partner and the life you have built together....zero in on the things you know they like and make sure that you spend good quality time together....do unexpected things for her that maybe you stopped doing a long time ago....ask her on a date and take her somewhere special....buy her flowers.....send her to the spa for a day....hire someone to come in a clean the house one week so she doesn't have to....plan a mini vacation for the two of you....surprise her some night when she comes home by filling the tub with bubbles, lighting some candles, play some music, pour a glass of wine and give her a nice bath.....you must get the drift by now...rekindle the romance and focus on making each other feel special and feel the love between you.....good luck

Maybe try the same romantic things you did for her in the beginning?? Age really doesn't matter. With woman, it is the little things that matter most. How about a romantic movie (Hold her close and put your arm around her). How about Leaving little I LOVE YOU notes around the house or just going for a walk in the park holding hands?
Spice it up a bit... I know you can do it :)

Romance is something that is purely gentle and warmth that you feel from within. At any age you could do something like this:
add candles, rose petals on the bed, soft music, kiss her in the moonlight or before candles with warm touches, breathe on her body and whisper soft words and let her imagine and "feel" the sensations. Write poetry and act mysterious, learn sex tips through books. That's just a start hope this helps.

It will work to the extent she is "content" (not happy, two different things) with the marriage. If you are simply staying in the marriage because of fear (which is her reason) and not because she has really forgiven her husband and wants him as a husband, than she is doing it for the wrong reason. Likewise, the husbands reasons for staying in the marriage shouldn't be "we need to work it out for the kids". Sorry, the kids will manage in a divorced house hold. He should WANT to work it because his wife was the greatest thing that happened to him, he betrayed her badly (in a completely selfish act) and he understands that injuring a loved one in such a matter is wrong on so many levels. IMO, it plays out with a divorce but not until the kids are out of school (ie she uses him for the kids sake...ie money and because she stayed married so long she turns around and gets alimony and half the marital assets).

Now that's a good question. Maybe take up a hobby or go on a vacation just the two of you and try to rekindle what made you fall in love 15 years ago.

Treat it like your first date, put on the works, flowers, dinner and dancing. Then put a big ad in the paper written in ode to tell her how much you love her, if you can't think of a poem get one out of a card or something, but change a few words as I don't know where you would stand with copyright n all that....hope it goes well, all the best.

The same way you were romantic in the beginning of the relationship. If you forgot how-then you will have to pretend that you just met her.

Tell her she's beautiful, remind her of all the reasons you two first fell in love to begin with. Make each other feel young again. Good luck!
