I work really hard and travel a lot. This means my social life is non-existent.

Don't work so hard.

Don't travel so much.

This. Travelling takes a toll on any relationship. You need to find ways to maintain (or in your case, re-form) connections between you two. But both of you have to be involved in that.

It’s easy to slip into a routine where you’re both focused on the kids, raising them, taking care of their needs, and if you both work-well, that just adds in another roadblock to a healthy and vibrant relationship with your wife! Believe me; I have similar circumstances, two kids, married over 10 years, and I think every couple falls into this trap…luckily for us, we were able to crawl out and you can too! Do you still love your wife?

Have you ever hear of the Love dare http://thelovedarebook.com/? After following some sage advice: talking to one another more often, setting time aside for dates, or sending/leaving each other notes, etc. It lead us to the Love Dare, which is quite a challenge, but worth it.

Don’t give up, stand and make sure you both know what’s going on before making any sort of major decision. It’s tough now, but it will only get worse if you bail without knowing where she is-I felt it too, is it worth it, but come to find out my wife was suffering from post-partum depression, which contributed to our problem. This link is about communication, and I know, it’s written from a woman’s point of view, http://bit.ly/2uJjpN0, but it has great info and other resources you might want to take advantage of! Again, don’t give up, do your best to find the romance and rebuild your marriage, my wife and I are in heaven compared to our time in the dumps! It’s worth it.
