There are exceptions, but if I ask the friends, Raise your hand if you are getting the same as before you were married, show of hands, none.   

Not a one says, my wife just wants too much "hanky panky" I can't keep up.  Then after 20 years of marriage you get lucky twice a year, idiots we are.

Not being critical of Jay, but as a bachelor who has never seen a proposal in person or watched many chick flicks that don't have Hugh Jackman or Ryan Reynolds in them, is it acceptable to just drop to a knee without saying anything? I thought some sort of elaborate prologue was to precede kneeling.

Being about as romantic as a granite deposit, I didn't think through the proposal pretty much at all really, and so it was pretty klutzy and awkward (what proposal in a hotel bathroom isn't?) but fortunately my now wife (of nearly 15 years now), being able to accept me for all the things I am not, didn't mind all that much.

I was picking her up for her brothers HS football game (he was very good) and I was late because I picked up the ring.  She was stomping around the house so much that her dog came up to me and basically said "I'm sorry".  So I dropped, gave her the ring and happily ever after (almost 17 years).  She still thinks the proposal was bad (probably was for her).

My advice to you single guys, make sure when you propose you get down on one knee.  I did not do that and after almost 13 years of marriage, I still hear about it.

I also didn't. After months of hearing about when we were getting married I threw a calendar at her and said pick a date. Now after 11 years I just bought her a new ring for her diamonds because her antique family ring broke. So I did do the knee thing when they finally finished the new ring and I surprised her with it.

I think you misremember how it is to be single. It isn't "do what I want at any time I want." Being single is a barren desert of wasted time, wasted money, lonely nights, hurt feelings, and blows to your self esteem. And maybe, just maybe, on occasion, you meet someone you connect with, and pray that she feels the same way about you. And usually, she doesn't. Stay married buddy.
