Is it commong to get "bored" in a marriage?

Yes, you get bored. But that's normal. You just need to make time for each other regardless, maybe do something new, and work hard to stay in 'love'. Love isn't a fuzzy feeling, it's something you do. It's work. And it's rewarding.

One thing my wife and I do, is that no matter the circumstances, no matter how busy we are, we find a way to spend time with each other. Every week we have 1 whole day to ourselves to go do something (go out for dinner, walk in the park, skiing, etc...). Every year we go on vacation, no matter our financial situation (although, when you have a set goal, the financials tend to work themselves out it seems). And every day we find time to talk, even if it's on the phone, no matter how busy we are (for the record, I work, go to University, actively manage my investments, and am trying to set up a new business)...
