I have to wonder if it has something to do with her hormones. She's the right age. A few years ago, I lost my sex drive due to premature ovarian decline. But before the light went out, it burned all the brighter, and for about a year, I couldn't get enough. I even started writing erotica articles professionally. I look back on that time with outright horror. That just wasn't me.
If this is the case with your wife, worry not, it will slack off all too soon and then you'll wish she had more drive.

What's up Clyde ? You lucky son of a gun :D You lucky lucky man - Man she would go crazy over me because that's ALL I want too....... If ever you decide to ditch her let me know ! I'd make her happy LOL
Guess she needs to see the doctor she may have hormone imbalance but she should discuss this with her doctor there may be medications she could take to "tame down" personally if she was my wife I would stay home ;-)))

I have to say that as a male, aerobic exercise has a way of leveling both the peaks and valleys of sexual desire. Finding other ways where she can experience a body-positive activity can help. A lot of us have gone the other way with our sex drives after a certain age but do find a kind of relief in that. But finding other joys in her body, in moving confidently through exercise, dance, or a combination of these might help. Counseling was already mentioned and I'll let the experts in that area speak to that idea.
