Life After Marriage

After Seven Years of Marriage, How Do You Keep the Spark Alive?

My wife and I are compatible, praise be to God, but life has begun to feel routine. We have no major problems, yet the longing is not what it once was. Is that normal, and what has worked for other couples?

It is completely normal. Passion changes form; it does not simply disappear. Try something new together, such as a short trip or a shared hobby, to break the routine.

We have one rule: one evening a month without phones or children, just the two of us. That has helped protect our relationship.

Routine is one of marriage's greatest enemies. But recognizing it and speaking to your wife about it already puts you in a better position than many couples.
