Time Passes /Time goes by/passes by/flies by
Could you please tell me which of this are ok, and how to say them?
1 Time isn’t passing. It seems like everytime I look at the clock its still 10am.
2 I’ve never seen time fly the way it does when I’m with you./I’ve never seen time pass/go by faster than when I’m with you
3 I worked for the time it took for the movies to play out.
4 As the week goes by/progresses, I get happier and happier, my smile (slowly) comes back. On Monday I’m in a bad mood as there are/I’ve got 5 days to go till/before Friday.
5 The more the weeks go by/progress, the happier I am.
6 The more publicity the store gets, the more customers we attract, the more branches we can open.
Thank you

I had one question please?
How would you say this properly?
The more time passes, the less you'll want to spend time with your wife./As time passes the less you'll want to spend time with your wife.
Thank you
