How can I help put more romance into my parents’ marriage?

Don’t get me wrong, I understand that all of this is up to my parents to deal with, but I’m just really concerned for them. Their both in their mid to late fifties and currently (for a whole year now) they haven’t been sharing the same room. My dad’s gotten used to the guest room. (I have no idea about their sex life though)
My mom’s an extrovert and my dad’s more of a romantic, introvert type. Talking to my mom about it just brings out her frustration about how she just doesn’t have time for it.
So….. what can I do to help?

Nothing! Stay out of it. There are dynamics in a relationship that parents don’t share with their kids. Surprisingly, many couples live like this by choice. Unfortunately, parents don’t want romantic tips from their kids and they’ve already worked out a living plan that works for them. Don’t intervene because YOU want a loving mom and dad. Trust me, there are issues that are unresolved between them that you can’t fix. Try to learn to live with their decision.

    There isn’t much you can do personally.
    You can maybe offer to watch any siblings you have so they can have a "date night"
    Maybe you and your siblings can make a "restaurant" inside your home and cook for them, let them have some alone time!

    Darling, do either of your parents snore?

    It could be that simple. And, if it’s a healthy relationship, they are doing what’s best for one and other.

    If you want them to have more time together then offer to cook dinner, pop on a movie and take off for the night so they have privacy.

    try having it out with both of them sit them down together, let them know your concerns and if they don’t want to hear it make them tell them that your worried and its stressing you just be open and honest then see where you end up?
