Definition: Disillusionment in marriage is when you find yourself asking the question, "Is this all there is?"
When you are in disillusionment you may find yourself more critical of your spouse and easily irritated by your spouse's behaviors and opinions. Spontaneity and romance generally decline during disillusionment.
Disillusionment in marriage is normal. It is part of the cycle of romance, disillusionment and joy that married couples experience. In order to work through disillusionment, you both must have a sense of commitment to one another, a willingness to talk about your issues and problems with one another, and an ability to make a decision to love.
