[Mr.Bada]

Many people think that the first year of marriage is the most difficult, but some psychologists say that the seventh year of marriage is characterized by turbulent feelings and the desire to separate. It can be overcome.https://www.aljazeera.net/news/lifestyle/2022/1/30/كيف-تنجو-بزواجك-من-أزمة-السنة-السابعة

The seventh year crisis is one of the biggest fears of happy couples at the beginning of their lives. Marriages fail for many reasons, but the idea that one or both parties will suddenly want to separate in the seventh year is not entirely accurate. Psychologist William Doherty, in comments reported by The List, pointed out that there is nothing magical about the seven years of marriage, except that most couples decide to separate in the seventh year when the couple may discover a number of differences and crises realistically.Marriage falters because of realism Clinical psychiatrist Joseph Silona says that many married couples experience feelings of dissatisfaction and complete happiness in their marriage after the honeymoon period, and these feelings tend to increase within 2 to 7 years of marriage. Children complicate things After 7 years of marriage, the spouses are supposed to have had children, and in parallel the level of marital satisfaction decreases with the birth of each child, so that the man usually feels that each child delays his status with his wife. While motherhood becomes the priority for wives, the husband feels emotional emptiness. Crisis occurs at all stages Marriage and family specialist Leslie Douris points out that the so-called "seven-year itching" can occur at any stage of marriage, especially if the couple has children, as the effect of children on marriage.It's the reason for the primary breakup, because it's a sense of responsibility and diminished intimacy. "If you feel attracted to someone else, get closer to your spouse, and make the relationship more intimate and more connected," clinical psychologist Frank Bateman told LATimes. Turning points in marriage, Pittman said, are the times when a change in relationship pattern is required, the same times when couples are most at risk of infidelity, divorce or emotional separation from a partner.
