Why, flirting is fun. It is not just about attracting a man. When my husband and I are enjoying being with each other, we still flirt. Flirting is also about keeping things going with people we love. Flirting signals we are attracted. It signals, I am available.

I love when my husband tells me, "don't get too beautiful (implying he doesn't want me to attract others, etc.)," or fixes things. He changed out the kitchen fawcett over the weekend and I watched with appreciation and helped. At one point I said, "let me screw them on because I fit better."--We immediately smiled at each other and thought of sex. A lot of the time, flirting is about having sex on your mind (it might be totallly unconscious) but not immediately acting on it. The thing is--I could not have fixed that sink all by myself. My hands are not strong enough. I was so appreciative that he had fixed it that I baked him a sugar-free cheesecake the next day. Asking for help has always been one of my go tos when I want to get closer to someone. Putting on makeup and dressing in a way that makes you feel confident also helps. When we feel good about ourselves--we flash our smile at everyone who seems receptive/in a good mood. I also touch more and am very receptive to being touched when I am feeling an attraction. On my second date with my husband, I grabbed his hand while we stood in line for the $1.00 movies. He said that was a powerful moment for him. Why? We were mutually attracted.
Sounds like you two have mutually satisfying relationship! We flirt with each other as well. Being playful and flirty in a relationship keeps relationship/marriage fun and alive. ❤️❤️❤️
