 It is possible, and a sign that you are letting each other drift to far apart. You both have to work on reconnecting with each other now that the kids aren't little babies anymore. Have a date night at least once a week. You don't always have to go out or spend a lot of money just be creative and don't forget to act loving towards him. It mayseem strange at first if you have gotten out of the habit, but you'd be surprised at how loving feelings start flowing again along with loving actions. Love is like anything else in life, you have to work at it, pay attention to it, and nurture it if you want it to keep growing and evolving. Married life is never stagnant, it has many stages that grow and change over time. Having to get to know each other as lovers again when the kids start to get a little older is just one of them. The trick to it is to remind yourself that it is just a stage and work through it. The fireworks and butterfly stage doesn't last forever for anyone. But what you get in return is even better, stronger, and deeper then you could ever imagine. So it is worth hanging onto.
