She's Pulling Away - There's a Coldness in the Air

What's happening? What's going on? Why does she seem to have lost interest? Am I losing her?

If your wife tends to push you off, when you try to put your arms around her, it's definitely time to worry. How much do you cherish this marriage? Will you sit by and watch it slowly die?

Hopefully it's just a transition and not a lover on the side. When ice hangs in the air, it's time for you to do something.

If you have to, stash some extra cash for a great 'date night'. I'm not talking about a drinking bash or loud noise, I'm talking about that candle light dinner at a fine restaurant. I'm talking about reviving those feelings that won her over, in the beginning.

There's something about dressing for the occasion, soft lights and eye to eye contact, that brings the original love affair back into focus. Your most flattering shirt or suit, an air of luxury and quietness. Maybe even a special gift along with your thanks for being such a wonderful wife.

If you can afford it, why not a night at a nice hotel? Arrange for a good babysitter you both trust and your cell phone number for emergencies only. A night just for her and not about yourself. A night of sweeping her off her feet.

Sometimes, that ice in the air is a result of her feeling taken for granted. Like a rose, she must be tended to, fed and nurtured.

Little things like looking deep into her eyes, remind her of why she married you. A gentle hand on her waist carries a deeper more loving message than a pat on the rear.

Instead of introducing her as your 'old lady', how about changing that to 'love of my life'? Don't ever make the huge mistake of siding with anyone against your wife. I don't care if it one of the children or your mother. Your differences are to be discussed behind closed doors. Always let your wife know you are on her side, regardless of the circumstances.

Lift her up, idolize her and treat her like a queen. This is support for the both of you as you constantly remind yourself why you married her.

Never let ice hang in the air. Clear it out and fast.
