Blake R. Templeton tells men their wives haven't changed, they've adapted to the stress and negativity the husbands created. Remove those triggers, restore joy, and the playfulness and excitement will return. It's a choice to reset the relationship.
Man, I just want to prophetically speak. The version of your wife that you miss deeply, it's still there. She didn't disappear. She's adapted to the environment that you created. So instead of blaming her for distance or blaming that you have fallen out of love, remove the stress triggers. Remove what you brought into the marriage. It's actually killed the fire. Remove that and then reset and go back to restoring the joy of the Lord, like Psalm 51:12. Restore the joy. It doesn't matter the chaos you have at work, bring that joy, that fire, that excitement, that playful adventure that you used to have, man, your girl will come back. All the flower petals of that bloom will come back and she will become more radiant than ever before. It's your choice.
