I'm looking for some advice on my marriage, especially from those who have been married a long time and probably been through these cycles.
While there aren't any major issues, we seem to be stuck in a phase where we're not really bringing joy to each other. Balancing family, step-parenting, work, and finances is proving to be quite the challenge over the past year or so. Our life together has lost some of its spark, despite our efforts to spend quality time as a couple. We rarely argue, but there's occasional tension and unresolved disagreements. I feel like we're at a crunch point, and I'm sad that if we don't take action, our relationship might fizzle out.
So, I'm looking for suggestions on how we can turn this situation around. We're both committed to making things work, which is definitely a positive. But at the same time, the idea of walking away sometimes seems like the easier option, as I'm just overwhelmed by everything.
Any thoughts or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.
