Does having children put a strain on marriage?

On Thursday's episode of "The Ricki Lake Show," a mother of two admitted she's so tired from raising her children that she's "lost love" for her husband and her kids. It's gotten so bad, she says she even fantasizes about having weekends to herself if she and her spouse were to divorce.
