The ‘7 Year Itch’ When Marriage Dissatisfaction Peaks & What You Can Do About It (At Any Point): Episode 328


Listen Later

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. 

As you listen, make sure you join our upcoming 30-Day Couples Challenge here.
