5 Ways to Avoid the Seven Year Itch
4. Nip negative habits in the bud
Anything that is done for an extended period of time becomes a habit and humans are creatures of habit. If an issue with your partner has been nagging your mind, you tend to use a wrong tone, take your man for granted and seek emotional intimacy with a person of the opposite sex. These are activities that may seem harmless at first but can develop stronger roots causing most of the problems. Eventually, the problems fade but the habit remains.
5. Take a break
Every time you think things are going amiss between the two of you, take a vow to take a break. This could mean a weekend picnic or a quick outing for a couple of hours or even a long drive. If you have kids, make sure you put them at some safe place and dedicate these few hours or couple of days for just the two of you. Homes are always where expectations build. A sink full of dishes, clothes strewn around and cleaning the bath after a shower are some chores that develop problems in a marital relationship. But when you step out, these become insignificant. So spend quality time and rework on your space with your partner.
These are just some of the tips that can help you prevent or avoid the seven year itch. Find yours to keep your relationship alive and charming.
