Man, I relate to this comment so hard. You probably already know this, but you likely still have the "spark" you had before the kids came along. My wife and I went on a trip a few years back without our kids to another city where we intentionally made no plans. When we got up on the first morning it was exciting (another rare feeling!), and I found myself having pure fun just wandering around, teasing, flirting, and buying frivolous snacks and taking silly pictures just like we did when dating. It was a huge relief to know that I hadn't somehow lost that capacity under the crushing burden of fatherhood and family management. It's a memory that keeps me going when I feel oppressed by that grueling sameness.
