It is common in marriages to have dry spells or times in which you feel as if the love is gone, that is the hard part of marriage. the good marriages make it through these tough times and the couple comes out stronger in the end and more in love than they were before.
So I would wait it out, you will fall back in love, things will get better.

I would have to talk to my husband about it. There would have to be a reason as to why the love just fizzled. That is if it was really where it should have been to start with. I talk to my husband alot about stuff like this. We talk about how connected we are. Sure I feel like we are so distant from time to time, be it life, work, kids, sadness. When there was a time that we were not being very close, I made it a point to remember what I loved about my husband and why I wanted to marry him in the first place. Everyone goes through ups and downs in a marriage. I plan on sticking it out thick and thin with mine.

Communication is the key, isn't it?!

A marriage would not be successful without this situation. Permit me to say that when this feeling sets in, it somehow makes one re-think of the various reasons and possibilities of 'what might have been' if you have not gotten married in the first place.
Especially women in marriage, where unappreciation and feeling of unlove sets in, remember that children are involved. When you committed yourself in vow to the person you contracted marriage with, its a commitment to keep. Start by communicating your feelings to the other person. Relate how his/her actions may have hurt you in more ways than one.
Don't just call it quits besides you had far better times than this. Don't keep quiet or else you will just end up being stressed and might affect your health eventually. Take time to love yourself once again so that when the love overflows, it would emanate in your words and actions. You just might end up being content with what you have. Just enough for a good life.

i am not married so i dn't knwo how to react to this event ..surely i think that in marriage happen that two people cna have a brak of the relationship or porblems can soar so it depends how much it is trong the link between the people too!!
I guess that when one people consider normal and not interested so much in the other so they will stay together just from a formal point of view may be the marriage cna finish as well..

I'm not married yet, haven't been... But that is one of the things that scares me.
I guess, from the stories read and heard, it's a phase. Sometimes, couples think that the love isn't there anymore, it might be that it's evolved in a different form already... So, if ever I come across such situation, then I will stay; it'll be hard but getting married is swearing to be with your partner through every bump in the road.

Take your time... People get married older these days.... I have always dreamed of the ideal marriage.. It was not meant for me... With divorce huge feelings of failure settle in, espeially when you have children... So it's best to marry as late as possible in life....

Married, where is the love gone?
Hello Jugsjugs, would probably keep quiet and wait to see if things would get any better. The main thing is believing that I have done all to try to make things work. If I had done everything that I could do then I would not worry what happened after that because it takes two to tangle, one can't do it alone. Happy mylot, have a nice day!Is it really that cold over in the UK?

I was married for 15 years and the love was definitely gone from our marriage... Sometimes it's better to call it the end because if you have tried everything and nothing is working....why stay and be miserable? there is life after marriage!

precisely my friend...there is life after marriage..and life doesnt end becoz married life is not as successful as we think it would be...so why waste time and effort and being martyr when your partner doesnt ccoperate anymore...it always takes two to tango....besides...it is better to end up the marriage in friendship when there's still a little respect bein left for each other..rather up ended as enemy.
