Since it seems you have missed the sales pitch, I'd recommend you pick up The Passionate Marriage. I'm saying this because, one, you still are not happy in your M even though the number one rated problem (lack of sex) has been addressed.

Two, because of this:

Sounds to me like you are looking for an 'emotional connection' with someone, and because you and your wife are what we PMers refer to as being 'emotionally fused' to one another, you allow each other no room to really be yourselves in your relationship.... hence, the 'stress and tension' and feelings of ambivalence.
