I have been married to my husband for over 20 years and beleive me that warm feeling wore off about 7 years ago. That was when he really started listening to Dr.Laura and beleiving all her lies and stories. The only time he wants to hug and kiss me is when he is listening to her. I know that he is using me as a substuted for her, cause he can't hug and kiss her over the radio.

"warm feeling" That could include the hot anger of "The spouse has eaten up the best years of my life..." ;) Insert here a long monologue about how love and hate are the same and how the true anti-emotion to love is indifference. Love does not express its self or is felt in exactly the same way even at the level of one person falling in love with different people let alone how it manifests in other. Yes there are common symptoms by which we measure love, however they are not all the same for everyone. Love "matures" meaning it takes on qualities and depths which in many it becomes hard to see the love. Circumstances and situations exterior and interior of the relationship can have a huge impact on how love is felt, expressed, etc. For some love cools 6 months down the road, for others it takes 60 years. There are common marital issues that many people suffer through, like the so called '7 year itch'. As we all have heard 50% of first marriages end in divorce - there is a reason for that, expectations and understanding that love changes is not there - we figure it out as we go through relationship chances so our 2nd, 3rd, 4th... marriage is the one that works (Yes some people need a little more education than others). There are phases of stages to love/relationships http://www.acmelove.com/marriage/phases-of-a-marital-relationship.php Which is still just a general guide - not a hard and fast set of rules that affects everyone. People also marry for different reasons, which can have a huge impact on on that relationship develops. See: http://www.healthyplace.com/communities/personality_disorders/narcissism/marriage.html Ultimately it comes down to the people in the relationship, how they act/react to one another, if they feed their relationship with the three C's (communication, compromise, commitment), and why they entered into that relationship to begin with.
