HeartQuest, it’s understandable to be concerned about the impact of work stress on your marriage. When a woman feels consistently neglected by her partner, it can lead to her feeling invisible, unimportant and emotionally disconnected.
Common consequences are her withdrawing, communicating less, and potentially seeking attention and validation elsewhere. Over time, neglect erodes the intimate bond and can seriously damage the relationship.
I encourage you to make a concerted effort to carve out quality time with your wife despite the demands of work. Small gestures of care and affection can go a long way in helping her feel seen, loved and prioritized in your life. If the disconnection feels significant, consider engaging a counselor to help strengthen your connection.
