    I had the 8 year itch. I wonder how many of these women have children in the marriage. I wanted a divorce!!! He said,”NO! Why?”’ I said but you don’t make me happy anymore and these kids are driving me crazy!!! I’m done! He said, your not happy? It’s not about you but it’s about us. You were not happy when I met you!👀👀🤣🤣🤣🤣 He said no and I prayed and stayed and worked on us not me and now it’s been 26 1/2 years, the kids got grown and love, life, and marriage is soooo good. So happy my husband showed no pride in saying NO! The reward of having someone to love you no matter what is great♥️💯 Now I’m looking forward to grandkids, one day🥰

    You should’ve been on this panel because I’m exactly where you were and we’re 6 years two kids in. I’ve thought about divorce but haven’t brought it up as bluntly 😂 my husband definitely wouldn’t say no because of pride but having kids will definitely try your marriage for sure. I’m hanging in here though because like your hubby said, it ain’t about me it’s about us.

    @@cfav16 You know what; that's okay. Marriage is hard. The universe asks two complete strangers (unless you grew up in the same household, you're strangers LOL) to come together and love each other forever. The itch could just be changes that you all are going through. You need to have an honest adult conversation, or two, or three; to work it out. What are your needs?? Are they being addressed?? Are you angry?? Are you depressed?? Are you stifled?? And Vice Versa. Decide together how you want to move forward.

    Being married 27 years; it can happen. It is mothering your man, or checking him like his mom would. Or even his expectation of mothering attributes; "take care of me, feed me, etc." Women can fall into the trap of mothering their men, especially after having children. We are so used to taking care of everyone and everything, that we get lost. Avoid it. Avoid it. Recognize if or when you get into patterns and address it. It happened to me early on in marriage, because I had no clue what I was doing. By year 3, I gathered my immaturity and checked myself. I hope that helped or I answered some of it.

    I believe there should be a mental space, where both husband & wife remember that they're partners, but 1 whole unit. Keeping in the conscious mind the fact that they're side by side, and not to necessarily be in control, could change the dynamic of some of the issues. Acceptance was mentioned (which is good), but the husbands also have to recognize when they do things, which do not serve the wives any good.

These current guests are on the alpha plane of relationship health thus 7 year itch was not a thing for them. However, locating some more women were the 7 year itch was real would be beneficial to the audience.

It is not about a stupid wedding, it is about your marriage, your life. You will have extended family, but you are not marrying them. I loved my parents, but they were not marrying my husband. Please, do what you feel is right for you. Be clear. Good luck and God bless you both.

    Boredom is real. You gotta put work into learning yourself and your partner. We all grow through growth phases, we want different things, and ultimately we need to stay interested. Its only by checking in and communicating do you stay connected to commitment and RE-NEWING it over and over so love stays steady and deep. P.s lady in white sneakers is grown grown. Her wisdom is full of real tested gems. Eg she is not her husbands mama. More women could really learn from that, the art of detaching and checking in with yourself constantly. Her husband does it too. They realise its a conscious choice of choosing each other daily, monthly, yearly etc and stay in love by "choice" not because they have to. Refreshing to see!

    What do you do when after 7 years the conditions don’t improve? Example your spouse takes off on weekends and doesn’t come home... doesn’t give sign of life, and sometimes comes back to share he was with such and such friends or slept in the car while listening to a book... You’ve indicated this is uncomfortable for me in terms of trust but it’s only met with apologies and not improvements...

    Alright I’m about to be judged. Yes the 7 year itch exists. Maybe not for everyone so I won’t speak for everyone. It doesn’t necessarily show itself as boredom in the relationship. The relationship can be great, sex still great (contrary to beliefs the more you learn each other, the better the sex will be) but it will never be the mystery and intrigue you feel with someone who’s courting you. It will never be the first touch and first kiss. Those may be the things that can trigger the “7 ur itch”. Now if you choose to act on that is your business. I’d advise you not to. There’s just something amazing that happens when 2 people continuously give themselves to each other exclusively. So in my opinion yes, it exists but resist the urge if you have a good partner!

    I disagree. Losing mystery doesn’t create boredom. Becoming disconnected from your partner emotionally will create boredom. I have been with the same person for over 14 years. There is 0 mystery. I know every part of him as a person. That has never caused boredom. The times we weren’t emotionally connect is when it felt less than amazing. We knew all the right things to do with each other and how we liked to spend our time together. Because of where we were emotionally it felt like we were just going through the motions. We had to see each other again and reconnect. That changed how we felt with each other again. It felt fresh and vibrant again. I was excited to just sit on the couch with him again. It’s not about a routine or about not choosing the right partner. It’s what you both put into it.

Speaking on that emotionally disconnected thing, That does happen and it usually ends up with resentment on one end when both parties aren't putting in the same effort. So I will agree with you on it's not about a routine but picking the right partner does matter cause you're gonna want someone who will put in that work together with you if you choose to go that route.

    Eric, you are correct when you say you need to pick a partner who will give the same effort. Let me clear up what I meant with that statement. I’ve shared some of the pitfalls that have occurred in my relationship on a relationship podcast and was told I didn’t choose the right partner. I feel comments like that send the wrong message to people. Every relationship will have its issues. It will not be a fairytale at all times. My purpose for sharing was to encourage other couples to continue to work through it if it’s a healthy relationship and you feel there is still hope. I do not agree with someone giving couples the impression that if you are having problems you weren’t meant to be together. Again, you are completely correct that if your partner will not work with you on your relationship they are not the right one!

    Y’all had me til “divorce is an option”. While you are 100% correct is feeling that you can do it and shouldn’t feel trapped. It’s easy for women to feel feel that way because there’s an incentive at the end of it if they do. Men have to try and make it work because if it doesn’t, he’ll be paying half upfront and for the rest of his life or close to it. I wish men could feel as comfortable with that choice and not have to suffer financially from it.

    The number of women who want to get married is about equal to the number of men that want to get married at this point. Let's focus on that. This is a fact and not an opinion. We aren't talking about 1950 anymore. People have options. Both men and women have options...no one is tying anyone down and forcing them to marry (not likely unless you come from a very strict religious background). So, this idea that only women stick it out while keeping in mind "divorce is an option" and men don't is false. The reality is that less and less people are getting married in general now. This is a fact. This conclusion tells us that people are not affected by societal pressures to get married like back in the day. So I have a hard time believing there is a big number of men complaining. They knew their options before they got married. They know their options now...and they are sticking out because they want to.

Even alone you are not happy all the times so why expect that from other people as much as you have the right to live in your truth, they also have that right. also it important to remember that the perfect person don't exist.....

Most men ain't such fine wine themselves at that age so who are they to speak, if you're still so shallow about appearances past age 30 it's a true shame, attraction matters but if you want that youthful beauty remember she will age too..unless you expect to die before you dare see her skin begin to sag and wrinkle. There's plenty of beautiful older woman with beautiful souls ready to give and receive an abundance of love. If many men were brave enough to overlook theri ego they'd realize this and be able to experience real love. And come on man, beauty aint everything it wont stop death, it wont stop suffering, it'll barely keep you happy for longer then whatever your attention spand is unless there's some sort of substance
