What you said about the importance of mystery in relationships reminds me of Esther Perel's book "Mating in Captivity". Familiarity breeds...if not contempt, at least complacency. My take on this is that it is important to keep a growth mindset, always striving to learn more about ourselves, about each other, and about our interests. Thus we change from year to year and the mystery remains fresh.
