Yes it is possible to have romance and still be happy with your partner. I have been married for over 23 years and am still happy. Spontaneity is the secret. We surprise each other with little things, be it a sexy gift or a quick cuddle. We still hold hands when we go out. We still share our secrets and our fears. We have 4 children 22, 20, 16 and 13. We don't fight. We talk through our problems in a calm voice. We don't yell at each other. We decided early on in our marriage that we would never go to sleep on an argument lol this has not always worked though we have sorted the arguments before they escalated into a full blown war.

Yes. By swinging. It's the best medicine in the marriage. The day you met your partner, it will go up for 2months then the ship sinks from there.

You can have romance, be happy, and still in love no matter how long you have been married as long as you love each other. I have been married for 10 years and we have been through and still going through a lot of things. Each situation makes us stronger and closer together. You need to be able to communicate with your loved one and understand each other. Sometimes when you are around the same person so long you need to have time to yourself along with a date night with your loved one.
