Loved but not

I love my wife, but I find myself missing intimacy. We have two children together and I love them both very much. We live our daily lives, talking, caring for our kids, enjoying doing things together. But at times all I really want is a hug or a kiss. My wife never seems to want any intimacy, pushing me away when I try. I’ve tried talking to her. I know she’s not having an affair. I find myself craving affection, lonely and sad. I watch how other couples interact, the affection they show each other and find myself thinking there is something wrong. Yes we’ve had moments of affection but they are brief and very infrequent more aimed for a purpose. I don’t know what to do. All I want to do is live my life out with her and look after our kids but without any affection I feel I’ll always feel lonely and rejected.
