Research has indicated that the average man takes 6-7 months to conclude if the person he is dating is marriage material to him. This low number may come as a shock to many people who are in unmarried relationships lasting years, which can happen for several reasons.

This low number may come as a shock to many people who are in unmarried relationships lasting years, which can happen for several reasons. In some cases, a couple may have met at an inopportune time to marry because of age, school, finances, or other obstacles, so they put off marriage until a better time – even if the man has already concluded he wants to marry his partner eventually. Sometimes, a man may put off proposing because he feels it’s not socially acceptable to propose so soon, or he is afraid of being rejected as a consequence of moving too fast. In yet other cases, someone may put off proposing because he has fears about things not working out, as a result of either active relationship conflict, disappointment in his own past relationships, or as a result of watching other people’s relationships ending. He may not trust his desire to marry his partner at first, so he waits to see if anything changes in the relationship. In fact, there isn’t a time or period to consider at all. Some ended breaking up even after years of dating while some wedded even when they were together for less.

At some point in many long-term relationships, couples experience a rough patch — a time when they bicker more than usual, feel bored and restless, and may even fantasize about being with someone else. The psychological term "7-year itch" became popular in the 1950s when a film by the same name tackled the notion that many of us lose interest in our monogamous relationships after 7 years (though it will forever be more popularly remembered as the movie where Marilyn Monroe stood over a subway grate while her white halter dress blew above her thighs). If you or your partner become inflicted with the 7-year itch, it doesn't mean automatic divorce — on the contrary, it's totally normal. "In any endeavor, boredom sets in over time — this is because the novel becomes the routine," says Dr. Paul Hokemeyer, a licensed family and marriage therapist. "I've found the 7-year itch cycle to be quite valid. After 7 years, most couples go through a period of 'dis-ease.' They find their mate irritating or boring and wonder, if only in whispers to their selves, if they'd be better off in a different relational state." But you don't have to freak out. In fact, consider it a wake-up call to improve your relationship. It's pretty easy to fix that feeling.
