do most marriages end after 7 years?

just wondering really how many couples have been married for 7 years and then you notice that you dont really have anything in common with your partner, and you dont seem to give each other the same attention as before. And also do you find it exciting getting attentions from other people ?

    It's called the seven year itch. That's when you have been with your partner long enough to where your relationship becomes routine. This is usually when one or the other start looking at the opposite sex in different ways and that usually causes them to cheat. You have to put a halt on it. You need to figure out new and exciting ways to spice your marriage back up like it was when you first are together. You have to reignite that passion and excitement. Do spontaneous things to add that spice again. It's hard on a relationship because your exhausted from work, kids, house duties and your partner gets put on the back burner. Remember how it was the first couple years of your marriage and figure how ways to get that back. Men and women get bored when a relationship becomes routine and that's when cheating starts so spice it back up and things will be good again. Think about your partner and what pleases them and do the spontaneous stuff like a date or be in the bedroom when they get home. Use your imagination like it was when you were younger and the excitement you felt then. Good luck.

    It's a proven scientific fact that tastes change every 7 years. People who never like Chinese food, learn that they now love it, etc. It is the same in all kinds of tastes.

    What makes a marriage work is that two people have to learn to change together... try new things together... do something that you would never try before, etc.

    Marriage is hard work... if you don't put time into it, you won't get anything out of it...

    BTW... been married almost 17 years... :)

    If you're truly in love, you wouldnt have to be asking this question. Most people get married in the heat of the moment and dont think things thoroughly. You get married to your soulmate. Your best friend. Your partner for life. Someone you deeply, truly care about, love and cherish. Someone you'll aid. Someone you'll be there for the rest of your life and wouldnt have it any other way. Not because you're he/she is your boyfriend/girlfriend or any of that childish stuff.

    its because people want everything to be perfect in a marriage. the fairy tale bs. also people have no work ethic. the minute there unhappy they leave. some couples stay together forever but it takes work to make it work. people are lazy these days and it acceptable to quit.
