If yes, did you like the results or better yet, did you actually notice any differences ? It's been 8 years and we both feel it's time to seek some advices since passion is not really there anymore. I'm no expert on this topic but I heard they were different approach, each having it's good/bad sides. :artist:
 
I've never done it, but I've heard some people swear by it, others think it is all bullshit.

its pretty basic common sense stuff for the most part, I can tell you that.

you are right, it can't hurt. Counselors and therapists basically say things you already know (in most cases) but just remind you. Sometimes its good for you guys to hear things from a 3rd party then from each other.
 
you need to find some one who is good and who can agree with you both instead of taking sides and such

I've never done it but we've considered it during some dips in our marriage. Fortunately we've come out of the dips, but who knows next time?

I think it's a good idea and probably beneficial to any long term relationship. I'd appreciate if you let me know how it goes.
 
Just cheat on her. You'll probably feel like such a douchebag, that the guilt will re-ignite the flame.

Nahhhh, I know some guys who did it and it worked but I still have some morals. Not a lot but some...
 
Been married five years and together for ten. Saw a counselor for ~ 1 year in year 7. Best thing we ever did. People are right, it's mosly common sense; but it's nice to have a netural ground to speak sometimes.

that is down right mean...it doesnt re ignite flames....it kills trust which you need in a long term relationship....it also causes great pain to the other person....
 
I can't even keep a girlfriend over a week, so it's safe to say I've never had therapy.

The proverbial 7 year itch. :)
 
well the first 4 or 5 yrs was good. then the seven yr itch. then at at the 9 yr mark we were ready to kill each other. but then the 10th, 11th and 12th have been pretty damn good. now at 14 and were still going strong.

i really dont believe in counciling, for me i guess. i analyze the ehit out of everything enough so i dont wanna pay someone for that.

no. i answered that on that thread. well i dont know i guess you could call it that but i dont look at it like that because she's the only girl we've been with.

but we have a great relationship anyway.

ive always thought the seven yr itch referred to the fact that your tired of the same ol thing and want something different.
 
My parents tried it. The problem is both sides have to be willing to change. Get ready for some change. That's the only way it will work.

but why do several people refer to it as the "7 yr itch"?
is it usually at or around 7 years and do a high percentage of people get it?

its 7yrs +/- 3months. and i believe approx 93% of the married population contract it.

Some are sicker then others and need more one on one time....really...I think anything is workable as long as you both want to work at it......Hard to do it but it will pay off

"The 'seven year itch' refers to the urge to be unfaithful after seven years of matrimony, with a desire to satisfy one's sexual urges ('itches'). "

http://www.filmsite.org/seve.html

"inclination toward sexual infidelity: an inclination toward sexual infidelity, popularly believed to begin after seven years of marriage"

yes i have....this is what it boils down to: You BOTH have to want the same results- if one wants out, or is seeking something different- save your money and take a trip with it.
