The problem is not with your

The problem is not with your wife no longer being in love with you, but her not being in like with herself! You just don't fall out of love with your spouse, who has done nothing but treat you well. You should ask her in a very calm manner, to make that statement again and listen to how she sounds?

I turned 39 years old last month....I too am having some issues dealing with self-improvement. Especially, since I stopped working after have my first child at 34 1/2 years old. Your wife is going through major transitions in her life, and it's not fair for her to turn the tables on you, because she is not happy with herself.

You guys definitely need to sit and communicate extensively, maybe seek counseling from a clergyman?

Here's a suggestion: ask your wife to write down all the things, that she feels will make her happy. I guarantee everything on that last will be related to self-improvement.
