Burnout is not exclusive to long-term marriages. It can occur in newlywed couples if the reality does not live up to the fairy tale they had envisioned. It can also occur in couples of any age when stress from work, boredom, or small but cumulative irritations start to build up.

The first step of overcoming marriage burnout is recognizing it exists and that it is an issue. Some signs of marriage burnout include:
Feeling exhausted, hopeless, and stuck in the marriage.
Losing interest in being intimate with your partner.
Focusing on all the things your spouse is doing wrong instead on the ones you fell for him in the first place.
Feeling as though your needs are never or not quite met.
Remember that if you have ever experienced any of these feelings, you are not alone.
