Is it normal to have a crush while married?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, you can have a crush while married. A passing attraction doesn’t mean you love your spouse any less or that your marriage is in trouble.

Marriage doesn’t switch off your ability to notice or feel drawn to other people. Crushes can pop up even when you’re happy and committed; what matters more is how you handle the feelings than the fact that they showed up.

People draw different lines around what feels okay, so it’s worth being honest with yourself about whether you’re feeding the crush or keeping appropriate boundaries. If it’s taking over your thoughts or pointing to something you’re missing in the relationship, that may be a useful conversation to have with your spouse—not proof that you’ve done something wrong.
