Why do so many married couples report encounters with infidelity after approximately seven years of marriage?
Each one of you are familiar with the jokes—some humorous, some not so humorous—about the differences between early marriage and what happens to marriages later on in life. For example, it has often been observed that if married couples were to drop a coin in a jar for every time they have sex during their first year of marriage, and then in the years thereafter, if they extract one coin for every sexual experience, it would take several years to drain the jar of coins.
