Same old same old...day after day. A lot of marriages and long term relationships can become boring and bland and predictable after awhile...Everyone does what is expected and plays out their assigned roles....It's fun to step out of character once in awhile and "surprise" our partners and even our friends. Don't you think?...Doing the "unexpected" versus being "the same" all the time...I guess it's hard for some people to take risks and vary from the "norm." Why? What are they afraid of?...Maybe romance dies off in marriages because partners don't offer each other any "surprises." What do you think?....Predictability and boredom sets in and everything becomes "old hat." I think it's important for spouses to continue growing as individuals through the years because this keeps a marriage fresh and alive and interesting. How do you feel about it? Thanks.

If I were hypothetically in a loving marriage with that special someone, I would love her way too much, to take her for granted or for things to become boring or predictable, to me. For me, every day with her, would be just as special as the very first day I married her and said "I do."
So, not really seriously worried, about the above quoted portion

i think you are dead on nuts right. my wife and i have been talking lately about "doing some stuff" now we just have to do it.
I think variety is the spice of life not only with a significant other but with friends too. It can become a daily grind for some with work, home, kids , etc.. before you know it you lose yourself so I do agree that it's nice and healthy to surprise each other or do something out of the ordinary just to keep things a little lively.
I think couples have to work at remaining "interesting" to each other. It's not just about how we look on the "outside" but who we are on the "inside." Don't you think?...My husband was full of "surprises" through the years...He had lots of hidden talents and skills and I did too...We had a chance to see more and more "sides" to each other and it was exciting. Neither one of us got bored and we didn't go looking elsewhere for excitement. But my first marriage was different. Boredom set in...There was never anything "new" to look forward to around the corner. Life stopped being fun and exciting.
