I wonder if you, like so many others, are comparing your marriage to some unrealistic ideal. Life just isn't a thrill-a-minute like it can be in a movie or on TV. I don't sense discontent so much as a vague feeling that there should be sparks and fireworks, if not all the time then at least more often.
Yeah, that's great fun, exhilirating... but there are also benefits in quiet contentment. Plus I think after being married for a while (18 years for me) you tend to forget some of the negatives of the early days of your relationship, which further casts the present in an unrealistically negative light.
