Drudgery? I am not sure it is that in most cases, but there is plenty of anecdotal reference in cinema to suggest it can become that.
Not that redhot romance doesn't survive in some pairings, but I've always had the impression that a mature relationship gets beyond the point that sex has to be a firecracker event. They like and love each other, and sex becomes whatever it becomes.
What do you think?
well, I just think sex is one of many ways to show your love to your spouse
but when the frequency is getting reduced slowly or when you no longer doing it doesn't mean the love already dies out
you can please your spouse/ show them your love&affection in so many ways other than sex
you can do other things like hugging, kissing or spending time w/ your spouse, giving them birthday surprise, etc
I find a kiss on the forehead is way sweeter and affectionate than a wet kiss on the lips
bah, my heart beats like a virgin while writing all these cheesy lines
