You have heard about the "7 Year Itch" in a marriage. Though that was the name of a Marilyn Monroe movie in 1955, studies have shown that a couples satisfaction in marriage hits a low around 10 years into a marriage. Whether you’ve been together 2 years, 10 years, or 30+ years, you’ll get a lot out of this episode by understanding what couples lose sight of and causes an increase of dissatisfaction. 

We dive into:

  • What the studies say about the “peak of dissatisfaction” being around year 10 together

  • The actions that lead a couple to these rough patches

  • What to do about it so you two can stay satisfied or boost it up, no matter how long you’ve been together.
