should I be concerned?

my husband and I have been together for 5 years and married for two.  now in my opinion the man I married was sweet and easy going, lately he's been irritable, and snappy....our sex life or lack there of is rocky, now i know it's a two way street and i'm not perfect, I have my day's to, but at least I admit it, if I bring his attitude to his attention he says that it's not true and has no idea what i'm talking about, we are both very busy since we both work but we are both home by 6:00pm we have three daughters so by the end of the night we are both exhausted, not sure if that's the reason why, but what i'm trying to avoid is us getting to the point where we get used to doing things on our own,  such as being in seperate rooms or just avoid each other because we both end up arguing, how can I get the spark back?

I agree with having a date night, sounds good. Falling into a routine at home can take a toll on marriage. Try changing it up a little bit. I know it's hard to do when you both work and it's so tiring to deal with household responsibilities after work. But a date night would be a good start. Or maybe just a conversation to start. Pick a night when you're both not so irritable. After the kids go to bed, talk to him calmly and ask him to listen to you before he talks.  Hear each other out and hopefully you'll feel better. Good luck. Don't give up. Tell him you want peace and love in your marriage :)

Yes, a date night would be a step in the right direction.  In general, your relationship has to be prime for for your own sakes and for your children.  With day-to-day living, the recession, raising kids, and so on, life can get stressful, but your time together has to be a priority.  Are you trying to do too much thus leading to your exhaustion, and can something be cut out to free up more time?

you guys sound like you need a "DATE" nite! once a week make a date just you and him thats it no kids no cell phones nothing!! do something fun go out and most of all relax and kick the romance up!! me and my dh are not really the busy kind but if we start getting too snappy with each other we know its time to turn off everything and just focus on us!! it always does the trick!!
