Is there a seven-year itch (or a three-year glitch)?

My husband and I have gone through rough patches. After a 3rd deployment and a baby, we have forgotten how to be with eachother. After sitting down, being honest and taking time for one another, we have worked through the uglies parts of our issues, and now keeping communications flowing helps our 7 year hiccup.

women really aren't very bright when it comes to choosing men. men aren't so great either but they at least have the sense to wait before making an emotional and irrational decision. if women would step back from their hormones and THINK every once in awhile about what they want in a husband--not just a boyfriend, marriages might last longer. Since so many claim to want love when they really want is "security", which is actually money today, they are not honest with themselves or their partners. attractive women in urban areas really get this wrong. they try to ingratiate themselves to wealthy guys, get a few dates, maybe even a "relationship" then the "rich" guy tosses them aside for a yonger model. then they are 35 and bitter.

women need to learn to judge character better. if a guy has character and some ambition, he will be a better husband in the long run. his relationship with both his parents is also key. if he has good relations with both of his arents, good sign. if there is a problem with one or the other, watch out. same is true for guys trying to judge whether their girlfriend is wife material.

First - the people in the teaser picture look 12 yrs. old. Second - people... take your commitments seriously! Your kids need you to think more about them then how you "feel" at the moment. Work it out! Try putting your spouse and family before yourself... I'm 31 and going on 13 years of marriage... I have had hard times but my hubby and I love each other and REFUSE to even discuss the idea of divorce. We will be married for life.

I scratched my itch with some strange at six years. Guess I was a year off. Wait I scratched again at seven.

I didn't even need to read this article to know what to do in a relationship.

From the time of dating to now it's been more than 6 years together with my fiance. We're getting married next year on the 7th year. Am I bored of him or restless? Heck no! I may sound crazy for saying this, but I prefer my fiance and how he is NOW than how he was back then.

I guess our relationship strengthened because we didn't rush to the altar, we lived together on and off, went through many obstacles, and we also made it a point to KEEP the "monthly anniversary" tradition so we go on dates every month and mini-dates every other week. We are also completely random, never stuck on a routine unless it's school and work (those will not be that random). Because we've been completely random and spontaneous every day, it never felt like we were repeating things in our relationship, it literally felt like everyday together was something new.

That's probably why we are STILL in the "honey-moon" or "butterflies in your stomach, heart racing, face blushing, puppy love" stage after more than 6 years <3

The brain center around "love" can be seen in an MRI scan. Most couples, these area begins to dim significantly in about three years. This is due to cave man times when a women becomes pregnant she could use a man around to help, so the man would love her and become attached. However once the baby is about three, then it can walk and communicate better and the use for the man is much less. tThen the man would leave to get a different women pregnant. It makes much more genetic diversity sense to have two kids from two different women than two kids with the same women. FACT.

Yes, seven years definitely hits the mark! I think communication and appreciation are absolutely necessary to a happy and successful marriage. Make an effort to appreciate one another--all the little things really do count at this point.

My husband and I are coming up on our 3rd year. I love him more then the moment I met him, but things are definitely not the way they were our first year of marriage. I think that goes for anyone though, regardless of "7 YR itch" or the "3 yr glitch"... I don't think we need to come up with sayings such as these to hide the truth. Marriage is not easy, by any means. We are always going to have to work on ourselves and with our partners to have a happy, healthy and successful life and marriage.

yawn .......

The 7 year itch is a better than a monthly burning sensation you got from a new partner.

You just dropped some truth radiomama!!

3 year glitch 7 year itch. My husband and I have experienced this we have been together going on 4 years now. I started to stray cause my other half didn't want to give me the attention I was wanting. One person told him "look if you don't want to loose her to another man then you need to start paying attention to her or she will leave you." He's starting to get better at it.

Looks like Yahoo stopped posting comments ... wonder what happened?

If the girl remembers to shave, wax, or trim, and please her man in bed, where's the itch. She needs to be familiar with two letters of the alphabet: BJ!!!

14 years together and I cannot imagine being married to anyone else. He and our children are the loves of my life.

Due to the internet.
