Over the weekend I asked you all to tell me how important sex is in your relationship, and I was surprised to see that it's an infrequent act for many of you. Sure, once the honeymoon period subsides, it's normal for that initial lust to die down, but if you're not connecting physically, there must be other ways you stay in tune with one another. So ladies, tell me, how do you keep the fire, passion, and intimacy alive in your relationship when you're not getting it on?

Perhaps in this day and age when letters have become antiquated, and when a flux of anonymous emails, no matter how sweet, tend to seem creepy, the idea of an honest-to-goodness secret admirer no longer exists. But I’d like to think that it does — remember in Love Actually when Keira Knightley’s character gets the knock at the door from her husband’s best friend with the cards confessing his love?

Even if you think PDA is a good idea, there's a time and a place for it. When you're the touchy-feely couple in question, chances are you're too smitten to even notice, but you could indeed be offending those around you. I, for one, am totally OK with witnessing a couple embrace or share a passionate kiss, but anything beyond that just makes me uncomfortable; like I shouldn't be looking!

Although I think celebrating marriage anniversaries can be an important way to keep the romance alive, I’m not one to make a fuss over a relationship anniversary. I think learning to celebrate your relationship every day in the smallest ways is much more important than planning a special night or weekend once a year. However, I know that for many unmarried couples, anniversary celebrations are very important, so what do you think?

It's great to see our friends happy in the romance department, and of course, it doesn’t hurt if they’re dating someone we happen to like a lot. But even though it may seem like we know our friends better than they know themselves, playing matchmaker can be tricky business.
