Wife enjoys being with her friends more than her husband?

Perhaps their company is more satisfying to her. Good friends are usually good listeners who understand give and take. Those are not always a husband's strong points.

ANSWER 2

Many women go through this as a phase. Being with friends is very different to spending time with a spouse. She probably enjoys the time spent with her husband in a totally different way!

If a husband is worried he could try doing some things to make their time spent together fun, such as arranging romantic trips, or trips the woman would enjoy. Making an effort to do something she enjoys not only makes the time fun together but shows her that you have given thought to it.

If time spent together is spent sitting watching TV, not talking, playing, joking... then being with her friends will always be a more attractive option. However, if the husband and wife spend time together being active in some way (chatting, playing, joking around, going places, doing something fun, projects together, etc) then it is time looked forward to.
