London: Newly wed couples get tired of their partners within five years of marriage, earlier it was seven years itch, according to a new research.
Those, likely to remain married for good, who manage to make it ten years. Researchers found that couples start fed up with each other after four years and are at peak risk of divorcee before their fifth anniversary.
The scientists in America, Russia and Scandinavia examining the longevity of relationships found that the “honeymoon period” lasts for less than five years,
disillusionment and disaffection often set in by the end of that period. The major cause is that more women were pursuing careers that placed extra stress on relationship and divorce had become increasingly acceptable.
