This is quite common after a couple has been with each other for a while. I can't speak on personal experience but see it in others. That honeymoon period is long gone and things settle into a routine.
I can relate a little bit even though my relationship is not 10 years old. The excitement from the beginning is over. Sure, we still have loads of fun and love each other very much, but that magic from the beginning (honeymoon period) isn't the same as it is now. Nothing wrong with it.
What I do (and my partner) are little things to keep it interesting and fun. I will plan surprises. He does the same thing. It really keeps things exciting. Maybe I will plan a fun weekend away in a fancy hotel. Something like that you could try.
As far as intimacy goes, that is also not the same as in the very beginning. It is still great, don't get me wrong, but it is much different now as we are living together and the frequency isn't as much. We are both totally okay with that.
I would suggest maybe trying some new things that you are both comfortable with. Sit down and talk about it first and see what things you are both okay doing that maybe you haven't done before.
