The 7 Year Itch: Is Boredom In Marriage The Cause?

Staying together in a marriage is getting more challenging with passage of time.

- Anita Choudhary

The generation we live in has changed in terms of love and marriage completely. Now, be it a woman or a man, everyone is independent, they have self respect in themselves. So, nobody is actually relying on anyone, the term pati parmeshwar is vanishing quietly and quickly after years of patriarchy.

Of course, this is the case of mostly urban area, only in the educated family who has a good, modern upbringing, the ones in upper middle class. This idea has come from there, where women are not going to suffer anymore for any man in their life and also have the independence to choose the man whom she is comfortable with, whom she wants to live with all her life.

Not only that; women fight against abusive or any kind of abnormal behaviour as well, and they even take divorce because of the compatibility issues.

Whereas; at the same time, men are no longer rushing after marriage as soon as they are getting jobs. They wait for the right time to come when they have actually their mind settled for their marriage.

So, people are no more in hurry to get settle in life and have kids. They take time to choose their partners. Not only that; the people have multiple relationships, before they get married. They try to choose wisely. Things don't go the way they want it go, be it compatibility, ego clashes, extra marital affairs and sometimes boredom causes the failure of marriage.

So, why this is happening? Have you ever felt that your partner doesn't love or understand you anymore? Have the rose-tinted glasses you wore in the early days of matrimony clouded over? You need not complain about them. Could it be that your feelings towards your partner have undergone a seachange too?
