It has been widely acclaimed that after seven years, relationships between husband and wife gets stale. The seven year itch theory was overdue for revision already; a new survey carried out in Britain suggests that marriages lose sparkle after ten years and 11 months. How credible is this new hypothesis is anybody’s guess. The study claims that after ten years and 11 months of married life, the couple no longer bother going out together or make romantic gestures. One-fifth had lost interest in their sex lives, while 12 percent could not remember the last time their partner paid them any sort of compliment. Those spouses who believe in the survey now know that they have an extra three years and 11 months in which to stem the rot.

Technically speaking seven year itch would mean inclination to become unfaithful after seven years of marriage. In fact no survey can specify with as much precision in terms of years and months when boredom would set in couples’ lives, it can be earlier than seven years or longer than the period proclaimed by the new survey.

The relationships get sour because of conflicting expectations. It has been wisely said that ‘strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterwards, and you will have the truth about him’. No wonder this holds true in the case of woman as well. The chronic bachelor George Bernard Shaw had said “Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can’t sleep with the window shut and a woman who can’t sleep with the window open”.

The basic foundation of man woman relationship is love. The relationship will continue and transcend all barriers and so called 'itches' as long as love exists between them.
