Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony - 7 years
There are many other couples that I could use as examples of the 7-Year Itch or crisis that seems to occur at that 7-year mark.
On the outside looking in and looking back there were grumblings and disconnects that were obvious and left to fester, grow and undermine. Eyes, ears and thoughts move to others who are happy, laughing and carefree - oh, where are those days? He does not listen, she does not understand, he does not care, she is too busy, he is too busy, he loses his job, she loses her job, there is a crisis, he is, she is, he is, she is.
It is not, she is not, he is not, we are not - they are, she is , he is, it is. We were.
It does not happen overnight. The beginning, the middle and then the end.
Right now in the heat, as things are slowing down from necessity - those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. Whatever level of your relationship........
Suggestion: Stop - pay attention - fertilize your relationship, water it, pluck the weeds, give it some shade and take the heat off and relieve some stress. Return your attention to each other - let go of what "others" think and find out what your loved ones think. Have lemons, make lemonade.

Hi Susan thank you for this it's Marie of SC. The right words at the right time. My husband and I are going through a rough patch. this is what 7 year itch kinda of means.
In short it is a relationship term - usually after 7 years people tend to re-evaluate their relationship. There might be evidence that it is now much shorter but the original number 7 came from a time period where the average marriage only lasted 7 years.
some marriages are not even making it to 7 yrs.
Here's a thought for your next post some steps to take on keeping a marriage alive and keeping interest.

Hi Susan---Nelson of Gates NY---it's been 3yrs we argue instead of talking.
Love some ideas on what can be done to talk to my wife again.
Susan---Josh of Fairport NY-- I wish i knew where this 7 year itch was invented.
I was married just hitting 7 years and my wife and I went out to dinner last weekend to celebrate our anniversary and she proceeded to tell me she wants a divorce. My heart crushed right on the spot as we have been together for 15yrs married 7.
From your perspective what takes your eye off of your partner and onto someone else. Please create another post on things to look for and ways to counter that before anything happens.
I believe in my marriage and wanted to last. Is it the number 7, is it a myth. I am so confused what happened.
I am asking God to provide you the words to write and share to all of us.
Follower of yours for 3yrs and outstanding picture.
