'That flame has to stay lit,' he added. 'When that flame goes out and you're not really attracted to each other anymore, you have to address that very quickly because it's something that's necessary.'
The star — whose real name is Tracy Lauren Marrow — also explained, 'I think Coco and I are teammates.
'We have to be teammates, not opponents, not assets, not liabilities. I value what she brings to me, and I think it's vice versa. We appreciate each other,' he said
He previously discussed the couple's love life in March of last year while talking to E! News.
'They say when sex is good, it's 10 percent of the relationship,' he opined. 'When it's bad, it's 90 percent of the relationship. So, if it's good, it's a cherry on top of the relationship. And when it's bad, it's all you can think about.
'Getting married is like casting for a movie,' he continued 'You got to pick somebody who's ready for all the scenes.
'Now, there's gonna be fun scenes. There's gonna be sad scenes. There's gonna be tough scenes. There's gonna be fight scenes,' he added. 'A lot of people don't sign up for the whole movie. They just sign up for the good part...'

Easier said than done of course; the Kravitz catalogue of former girlfriends and lovers is perhaps better known than his back catalogue of hits.
But at the age of 60, the celebrated musician is keen to hold back on physical intimacy until he finds the right woman — and it's all thanks to his father's own promiscuity.
Kravitz was heartbroken after discovering his father, NBC news producer Sy Kravitz, was having an affair while married to his actress mother Roxie Roker, a household name in the United States thanks to her starring role in The Jeffersons.
Lenny — whose own marriage to actress Lisa Bonet ended in 1993 — admitted his father's claim that he would end up doing the same thing soon became depressingly accurate.
'He became right,' he said. 'After the marriage, I became more like him. I was becoming a player.
'I didn't like it. I didn't want to be that guy. So I had to tackle that and it took years... by taking responsibility. Discipline. Not letting my own desires take over.'
Said discipline has led to nine-years of celibacy as he waits to find a life partner, but he admits his love of routine and predictability might hamper the search.
'It's a spiritual thing,' he said of his abstinence and lifestyle. 'I have become very set in my ways, in the way I live.'
The way he lives includes regular trips to the gym, with Kravitz — who turned 60 on May 26 — often amusing fellow fitness enthusiasts by working out in his 'street clothes.'

The American star has also overhauled his diet, coupling healthy food with an erratic gym pattern that matches his unconventional workout attire.
'Well, there's a lot of hard work and discipline in being healthy for me,' he explained. 'That means when I want to eat junk, I don't do it.'
