I actually have a different perspective. Her boring routine doesn’t have to be dependent on her husband. She can also look into things she can do on her own. For example, my partner loves hiking and I don’t, so she found a hiking group. I love pottery, she doesn’t, so I joined a studio. The time apart is actually helpful for us so we have a chance to be excited to see each other and share what we did

I think couples who are in a "rut" should try doing spontaneous things!

I’d say she should work on herself not them as a couple. Work on her happiness and serenity and then let the relationships root from your own serenity.

Also, making plans shouldn’t just be on one person. Each partner should get to the be the “planner” and come up with the date idea so both are being actively involved and both putting in the time and energy.

2-2-2 rule is interesting. Maybe not a weekend away every 2 months, cause it might become financially straining, but if you're childfree in your late 40s, you probably can afford it haha. But yes, I have to agree that, just because you have a lot of free time on your hand, doesn't exempt you from the needed discipline to maintain your relationship (either by doing activities as a couple of individually).

I was literally saying this in my head while driving with my husband in silence. “Maybe if I schedule it?”

ALWAYS make plans. It doesn't have to be spontaneous! Actually it never was, even when we start dating, we make a reservation, we shower, we shave, we clean the house just in case 👀 we forget about it and think it was always "spontaneous", no it wasn't!

That’s actually good advice. Unfortunately, this is the natural result of being childless. :-/
