"Even though I&amp;#39;m not getting any younger, the concept of marriage and lifelong monogamy has always made me uneasy. And by &amp;quot;uneasy&amp;quot; I mean &amp;quot;terrified.&amp;quot;\nI&amp;#39;m a red-blooded American girl and I have needs, and it seems to me like at some point in a long-term relationship, couples just stop having sex.\nOne couple I know, who are so in love with each other it&amp;#39;s sickening, say they rarely do more than kiss.

How can you put the spark back in the bedroom? Do you believe in things like &amp;quot;down cycles&amp;quot;?
