Do you mean in USA?
Did you know that many cultures don't have the concept of romantic love? For example, in India, marriage is often arranged and seen as a partnership of two people who need to make the marriage work out no matter what. "Romance" doesn't enter their minds-- it's largely a Western concept. It's considered bad for a couple to have a lot of fights and not get along well, and good for a couple to do all the things WE generally think are acts of "love."
The sad thing about USA is that people seem to think they "deserve the best" and that if there are ANY problems or they are not PERFECTLY HAPPY, they have the right to just quit and move on to someone else. Most cultures don't have that concept that a man and woman should be the perfect soul-mate couple who live in perfect bliss. They don't expect a couple with 2 kids to be prancing about in the excitement of love. It doesn't cross their minds that "bored" means "bad." However, an abusive situation usually isn't tolerated-- although there are different standards for abuse.
I know you're not suggesting divorce or anything. But I just wanted to say, even though I support individual rights and the pursuit of happiness and all, there's something terrible about American values when it comes to maintaining healthy families.

This is not going to be solved by a few lines of advice, but I just went through the same thing so I'll tell you what i did. I cheated, then I realized how lucky I was to have the reliable nice guy waiting for me at home. We got really drunk, had a long talk, had the best sex of my life and things are better. Not perfect, but a million times better. Let him know what you need from him. I can't stress this enough, COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY to a happy marriage. if you can talk about anything, you can work anything out. Good Luck!

I love the man that my husband used to be. I love him because for so long, he was my everything. Everything that I wanted him to be and so much more.
Recently, he has undergone such a dramatic change in himself that I do not recognize the man that I fell in love with and later married and had two kids with.
I am not in love with the person that he has become. I guess you could chalk me in the unhappily married catagory.
Interesting question though.

I'm in that category of "unhappily married". My husband has changed so much from the man that he was 11 years ago. Sad to say.

My friend told me this last week. "My husband and I are still married because we have not fallen out of love at the same time."
The Alicia Keys song really does make sense.

I have loved my spouse for say 22yrs but half of that love is like loving a friend.
