[quote=Anonymous]OP, how old are your kids? If they are very young, your wife is still physically recovering from bearing them. It really is a marathon, being pregnant, delivering, nursing, then doing it all again while parenting a toddler. Don't underestimate this-- it is very easy for some women, but it certainly was difficult for me and I'm not ashamed to say so. Or she may have PPD. She needs a regular time when she is not caring for the kids. Like, say, a babysitter every Wednesday afternoon. That will give her some time and space to rest and think about the big picture. We got a babysitter for 2 hours on Saturday mornings and it has done wonders for our marriage. We both work out and then we have a little coffee date on the porch and just talk. It has been life-changing.[/quote]
