Romance & Physical Affection
The complaint is almost never that the romance has gone. It is that neither person wants to be the first to say they miss it.
Admitting you would like more attention feels like confessing a deficiency, and asking for a date night sounds like an accusation that there have not been any. So both people wait, each reading the other's silence as contentment, and the thing that would fix it in an evening goes unsaid for a year.
These questions are about the pattern rather than the passion: whether you still make plans that are specifically for the two of you, who initiates, whether initiating has become risky enough to avoid, how much physical affection happens outside of anything leading anywhere, and whether you still say things you both already know.
Everything here is written to be readable aloud without embarrassment. It is a communication tool, not adult content, and the questions are about the shape of your attention to each other rather than the details of anything else.

Is this explicit?
No. Nothing on this site is. Every question is written to be readable at a dinner table, and this category is about affection, attention and effort rather than anything graphic.
What if one of us initiates far more than the other?
That is one of the most common results, and the person initiating less is usually avoiding a rejection they have stopped expecting to survive. Seeing it as a pattern rather than a verdict is the point.
Does this work for couples who have been together a long time?
It is aimed at them more than at new couples. Early on, none of this needs asking; the questions get useful precisely when the answers have stopped being obvious.
Two phones, no account. Nothing is shown until you have both finished, and only the answers you both gave are revealed.
