Reading this thread, it seems the biggest mistake everyone has made is having kids.

We go camping to 'relax'. Hey, I really would like to try a new hike. And by hike, it's not the typical social media cheater, let's go 1/3 of the way and take selfies for instagram and pretend we made it to the top... no, let's hike a frikking mountain and sign the register at the top.
Mountain biking is done in the literal sense. She's a frikking walking, breathing, Monster Energy drink. And most of her friends around the same age seem to be the same. Maybe there's some sort of generational thing going on. Or maybe it's the company she keeps.
In the end I don't mind as it keeps me fitter and mentally younger than I'd otherwise be, but sometimes it would be nice to relax, relax. Not "OMG THEY HAVE WHITE WATER RAFTING HERE DID YOU BRING A HELMET!?" relax.

Does your wife have a sister who is single, close to the same age, and equally as energetic?
