Letting the Marriage Become Secondary

Allowing the needs of children or outside commitments to completely overshadow the marital bond.

When all energy is directed toward the children or social obligations, the husband can feel neglected and unloved. A marriage put on autopilot will eventually drift into a distant roommate phase.

What this looks like
Consistently allowing children to sleep in the marital bed, leaving no room for private couple time.
Declining your husband's invitation for a date night by insisting you cannot leave the kids with anyone else.
Scheduling every weekend with children's activities and social events, leaving zero time for you and your husband to be alone.
