I don't know if I agree that it disappears (ask me again after #2 arrives). I definitely think the focus of marriage shifts away from each other to the children and that can make the spouses invisible to one another<br /><br />p.s.

It's a choice to put the attention back on it, especially when like you say, all you want to do is just sit there and do anything else.
