I think you might be on to something there, Larry. I know that J and I have had this happen once or twice in our 22 years together. Anymore, we recognize when it's happening and know it's time to plan one of our weekend getaways, buy some new toys/playwear and tease each other mercilessly for the week leading up to it. That usually does the trick and breaks us out of our rut!
