What is the seven-year itch in relationships/marriages?

What does it mean then?

Well, supposedly our body makes new cells every 7 years. But, that is a myth! I had to ask GOOGLE 2022.

Why is the 7th year of marriage the hardest?


The 7-Year Itch is the idea that marriages start to decline or end in divorce around the seven-year mark due to boredom or even unhappiness. Either one or both partners can feel the 7-Year Itch and can be produced by several different factors, including: Lack of communication. Miscommunication.

Surely a 'his' and 'hers' pair of backscratchers would cure the itch problem, and if not, they can use them to beat the s**t out of each other. Just jesting folks.

The 7-Year Itch is the idea that marriages start to decline or end in divorce around the seven-year mark due to boredom or even unhappiness.

The way to beat boredom is to wear a big floppy sun hat in the bedroom, he will find it irresistible!

Not sure about the 'hat' but the rest is spot on!

Sometimes a change is better than a rest??

 

[Paco Dennis]

People have tried both. Separation for a time, and others just want to change permanently.

Maybe do what Marilyn Monroe did in "The Seven Year Itch".....stand over a grate and let your white dress blow up. It does wonders for itchy heat rash. LOL.
