I was thinking of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, but since I got no words right, that's obviously not the answer. I THINK I know now, after cheating, but even then I'm not really sure.
Tommy Lee Jones and Meryl Streep as a couple who, decades into their marriage,
try to spark things up all over again.
I didn't remember the name partly because I heard more than 1 name for it,
and partly because it shares a name with more than 1 other movie.
It was released as "Hope Springs" in the US.
(What Am I Going To Do With My Husband? was another title.)
"Hope Springs" is correct. It seemed to be more of a "chick flick," but the woman I was on a date with didn't want to see "The Expendables 2." ;) As with most films I have low expectations for, "Hope Springs" was actually quite entertaining. It was no "Traxx," mind you, but...

Crimson Tide?

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

And it made me giggle for a moment.
Mrs Wolf, she just said "If he's really WordWolf, then who have I been sleeping with all this time?"
Honestly, if Raf was WordWolf, he'd keep my s/n correct without trying.
I only split up the name when entering it somewhere that requires "First and last name."
IIRC, Sudo did the same long before he posted here, when he used "Sudo Nym."
Raf and I have certain similarities, and certain dramatic differences.
We're both geeky, but usually about very different things.

I should point out, however, that WordWolf and GeorgeStGeorge have never been seen together... ;)

Why do I keep thinking WordWolf is two words?

"Why did you break up the encounter with my pet python?"
"I discovered it had a crush on me."

"You know him?"
"Not socially. His name is Jaws. He kills people."

Jaws, besides the shark, was the name of a tall Bond villain.
I doubt this is correct.
"For Your Eyes Only"?

It might be "Moonraker," since that was the SECOND appearance of "Jaws"; and these quotes indicate that SOMEONE had met him before.

First appearance was in The Spy Who Loved Me.
The second was Moonraker, from which those quotes were lifted.

"So what'd you guys get each other?"
"Yeah, 31, what gift is that? Silver? Ivory?"
"Oh! We got each other the new, uh, cable subscription."
"Oh great..."
"It's a lot of channels."
"We're doing so good we might even be able to get out of here early. OK, next step, what is it? Write a poem? Hold hands in public? Sing a serenade?"
"It's sex."
[whispers] "You know we should just get our things and go."

Interesting guess, but no, not close. Hint: The term "guys" in one of the exchanges is generic. It doesn't mean two men.
1. "Arnold, do you have fantasies?"
2. "Threesomes"
1. "With?"
2. "Carol"
3. "Carol with the corgis?"
"So what'd you guys get each other?"
"Yeah, 31, what gift is that? Silver? Ivory?"

In some places, this movie just left the theaters.
With most people not having seen it on basic cable, and possibly not premium cable or DVD,
few people have heard of it.
I know which movie it is, but I don't know the name, myself.

Well, that puts my next guess out to hang. (Hitch)

I saw it, myself, about a month ago. Hint: Steve Carrell appears in a non-comedy role.

Good hint. Can't remember the name, though. Something like:
Finding A Date for the End of the World.
Close enough?

Sadly, not even a single word was correct. This movie is about a married couple.

If I can name the male lead actor and the rough plot, can we move along?

That will be fine. Here's another hint: If the title had one more word, one might expect it to be "Eternal."
