My wife (42F) and I (43M) have been married for a 8 years. We've been struggling for awhile, with most of our issues stemming from our different parenting styles. We've been in counseling for over two years. We are now at a point where we are just co-existing. We are going through the motions of marriage (kiss goodnight, kiss goodbye, "I love yous") but without any passion, intimacy, sex, or real connection. Even if my wife proposed having sex, I would likely decline, not having been in the mood for awhile now. I love my wife and I care deeply for her, but im wondering if all of our issues and inability to work through them have caused me to fall out of love with her. I know I dont feel the same way about her I once did. Im not ready to throw in the towel, at least not until I know I've tried everything. Im wondering if this is common in marriages, if its a phase, Or if this truly is the beginning of the end. Im looking for advice on how to fix my marriage. How do I get the passion back?
TLDR: could be falling out of love with my wife, need advice on how to fall in love again and salvage my marriage.
