I think the most important thing to remember is that you have to make an effort. Don't just fall into a routine. Think of crazy things you can do to keep it exciting -- for instance, maybe tuck little notes in his pants pockets before he goes to work, go somewhere different for dinner one night (like out for Morrocan or something), go away to a bed-and-breakfast for a weekend. Sign up to take a class together (maybe a massage course), be active together by going for runs or playing sports... there are so many things you can do besides the "going to work, coming home, eating and watching television" routine.
I think as long as you both realize the threat of monotony is ever-present, discuss what you can do to avoid it and actively work together to do so... you'll be golden!
