You can and should have an entirely normal life together, including sex without condoms. Any and all sexual practices are OK. Having had sex together all those years, you have already been exposed to and infected with each other's HPV strains. Your immune systems prevent reinfection with those strains, and therefore couples do not transfer their genital HPV or warts back and forth.
