SEVEN-YEAR ITCH - “Used to describe a husband’s or wife’s urge to stray from his or her mate after seven years of marriage, this expression appears to have been invented by American playwright George Axelrod in his play ‘The Seven Year Itch’ (1952) and further popularized by the film version starring Marilyn Monroe (1955). Word and phrase hunters haven’t been able to turn up any earlier use of the words in a sexual context, although seven-year itch had been used to describe a poison ivy itch that supposedly recurred once every seven years.” From the “Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins” by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on File, New York, 1997).-

Spiritually we live in 7 year cycles so I guess as we grow spiritually inside we may get the itch to move on.

In numerology it is a 9 year cycle so if you take away the first year of Beginnings and the last year of Endings it is really a 7 year cycle

People come into our lives for us to learn as well for us to teach them. When the time is right it is time to move on. Sometime the compatibility is just right and each person in the relationship encourages the other for personal growth some people just feel like they are being held back.

1 ) Beginnings. The act or process of bringing or being brought into being; a start.

2 ) Duality & Unity. Male and female energies merging. Unity of Spiritual energies with physical energies.

3 ) Creative. Having the ability or power to create

4 ) Balance. Creating strong foundations for the future.

5 ) Freedom. The condition of being free of restraints.

6 ) Healing. To restore (a person) to spiritual wholeness.

7 ) Spirituality. The state, quality, manner, or fact of being spiritual.

8 ) Karma. The total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny.

9 ) Endings. A concluding part; a finale: a happy ending

Love & Blessings

You want to check out the scene after 7 years of married life. Actually the itch was a STD that the couple got, which had to be medicated and lasted that long.

The 7 year itch refers to the idea that people become restless or dissatisfied within a relationship after 7 years, thus they itch to try something new or different.

'SEVEN-YEAR ITCH' is used to describe a husband's or
wife's urge to stray from his or her mate after seven
years of marriage. This expression appears to have been
invented by American playwright George Axelrod in his
play 'The Seven Year Itch'(1952). Seven-year itch had
been used to describe a poison ivy itch that supposedly
recurred once every seven years, "Encyclopedia of Word
and Phrase Origins", by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on
File, New York, 1997).

Itch: The sexual urge: Generally occurs in expressins
like 'she's a ***** with an itch', or 'the seven-year
itch' - widely known as the time when after several
years of marriage a husband or wife gets restless and
starts to look for extramarital liaisons. This use of
'itch' dates back to the 17th century, from The
Slanguage of Sex (1985) by Brigid McConville & John
Shearlaw.

Seven-year itch: Previously it had been used to
describe various itching ailments, including scabies,
that only disappeared after seven years of treatment.
'Itch' has been used since the 17th century as a
slang word for a sexual urge and seven years is a
traditional period for change: "Time's pace is so hard
that it seems the length of seven years." (Shakespeare,
As You Like It) From Brewer's Twentieth Century Phrase
& Fable (1991).

The sidereal period of planet Saturun is 29.46 earth
years. A fourth of this period is called "Saade Saath"
bad period in Hindi, and " 7.5 Samvatsaraala Elina
Naati Sani" in Telugu. Though this bad period is
calculated according to position of planets at the time
of birth, there is a folk belief in India that many
psychological cycles have seven and half years period.
In astrology, itches and skin diseases are connected
with planet Saturn.

The "Seven Year Itch" is used to describe a period in long-term, monogamous relationships (usually marriage). Around year seven, people often get restless, unhappy, even develop crushes on other people.

It's also a wonderful Marilyn Monroe film :-D.
