c172g, how long did it take for you to get to that point of realizing you couldn't take the other person for granted? Did you guys get into that "routine" at first, and then have to work your way out of it, or were you naturals from the start?

I think it's great that you both still "romance" each other regularly... it seems quite important for keeping the flame alive.
Do other long-term relationship people do this, too?
