As a married man of 13 years so far, there have been months where i feel like im in a share house with my wife and kids, not a family home.

But on the reverse, there are many more months / years where there is obvious love in the house and those occasional months are usually during hectic periods of life (busy periods at work, Christmas, school holidays etc.) So the lack of "love" isnt because its not there, just that we arent taking the same amount of time to show it openly.
