Slow down.
Seriously, having two children under the age of 3 is enough to wear down ANY relationship! Take a step back, catch your breath, and re-center yourself.
For example, find a babysitter for the weekend and just spend a couple days enjoying each others' company, and TALKING about what's going on in your life and how you feel about things.
Set aside personal time to do things that you enjoy. Even taking 20 minutes every day to sit down and read, knit, do yoga, or whatever can help de-stress.
Also, sit down with your budget and your work schedule. Would it be at all possible to cut back a bit so he could spend more time at home? Let him know what your ideal situation would be, find out what his ideal situation would be, and take baby steps to work towards that. Communication is key. You need to know what he's thinking and let him know what's on your mind.
Good luck!

one of you needs to put their foot down and have a talk with each other. you guys need to say " ok this is not working and if i love you this much then we have to work out a way to make it work! we need to rearrange some things to help each other out when we are around each other to not feel so caught up in ourselves and feel so stressed. we have kids to think about and as much as we need our jobs, theyre not going to keep us warm at night when it comes to wanting someone their by our side to share all of our problems with! So lets talk about this and make some changes! " you guys are letting the material things get in the way, you need to remember that your foundation has to be love, trust, loyalty and family so stop worrying about the things that are breaking you apart and work on making them better TOGETHER!

i think you need to cut some work hours and spend more time at home with kids and in that way your husband would feel better too. May God brings happiness in your lives.

You are married and have 2 children what relationship do you want to talk about?, that is the relationship. Stop nagging the man when he comes home.
