Happily married, but miss the new-relationship feeling

Do you miss the “butterflies” from new relationships(not necessarily romantic, could even be friendships) even when you’re happily married?

I’m in my 30s, happily married to a wonderful partner, and I love the stability and deep connection we’ve built over the years. But lately, I’ve found myself missing that “new relationship” excitement—the butterflies, the thrill of not knowing everything about each other, the mystery. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t trade what we have now for anything, but I can’t help but feel nostalgic for that early stage chemistry sometimes.

Has anyone else in a long-term relationship or marriage ever felt this way? How do you manage those feelings while still appreciating the love you have? Would love to hear your thoughts!
