What would be a good way to celebrate completing 22 years of marriage, when passion has cooled, but love has endured?
 
Have a party!!

.. I always want a party. :D

Are you looking for ways to reignite passion, or are you asking for something sexy but un-sexual, or what?
 
Take her to a swanky restaurant, and treat her like gold (you should all the time anyway), and maybe buy her a pair of earrings, or write her a poem, or...(trying to remember what my dad did)... Buy her a long-stemmed red rose, and tie onto it a heart-shaped charm (for a necklace or something.) or a key, and tell her that this represents your heart, and that after 22 years, you'd still like her to have it... or that it's the key to your heart, and (same deal).
 
I think you should try to rekindle that passion! Love and passion are the hotest thing going. Congrats on 22 years.

well why not try

Either doing something that you used to do when you were dating or going to a resturant that you haven't been to in years. Do something that the 2 of you enjoyed but for whatever the reason don't do anymore. Is there something that you used to do when you were first married that you don't do anymore? Give it a Try. Good luck! And Congrates on 22 Years!

Try the surprise angle

Try the surprise angle.
Call a towncar service like Coachman Towncar and have her picked up, not saying where she's going (you are not there). Prior to this, leave her a note telling her to pack her bags with x, y and z (e.g. bathing suits, evening dress, passport, depending on your budget)--or have note delivered by chauffeur.

Or, if you are really a sneaky bastard, pack her bag yourself, sneak it out of house, have towncar meet you at swanky restaurant (Vixenshe's term). Two hours later have towncar take you to unknown destination--hotel or airport. Fly her to Hawaii.

See the many suggestions at the Birthday Part thread on 'How to."--Leaving serial clues works, where she is sent to massage, then spa, then bed and breakfast, then bath there. You appear with bath towel at the right moment.

If she works you might need connivance of her boss. That's OK--have towncar pick her up at work, when she's confused have her boss or friend say, "No, Sarah, I believe it is for you.."

If out on the town, dressing up is a big part of the deal (for you too). When as the last time you went to L'Auberge in formal dress in a goddamn state where the Governor thinks he's hot shit because he wears jeans and cowboy boots (that's for the Eastern Oregon vote, but I digress. It's OK--I saw them make him take off his boots at the airport a couple of weeks ago for terrorism inspection).

Mass of contradictions

Vixenshe, you are a mass of interesting contradictions!

Have planned out prosititution as alternative career, want threesome, love s.o, want another guy to have at your man in flagrante, want lovely girlfriend, want spanking, daddy--then you say 'treat her like gold all the time," swanky restaurant, romantic love-tokens.--Forever, passage of time.

--I wonder how you would treat a guy who loved you and said he want to spend eternity with you. Just theoretically.

--I feel the beginnings of a theory starting to emerge: women as unbridled promiscuous sluts on the inside want shining knight who sees them as they really are(n't) to love them passionately and exclusively, but tied up so they can be as blameless as little girls for their wantonness.

Thank you

A great big THANKS to all of you. I'll give you an update on Sunday.

Yes, it is possible to maintain a marriage, and a family, after passion dies. It takes some creativity, maturity, and common interests outside of sex.
