Whether you get 7 year, 7 month, or 7 week itches, every relationship goes through a time when one of you may be getting a little curious about who or what else is out there. It certainly doesn't hurt to keep your relationship, no matter how long or short, fresh and fun. Here are 5 ways to avoid the itch.

1. DATE AGAIN
Actually ask each other out. This may seem totally silly, but it feels great to have someone take the time to make a date. Plan the date from start to finish - you'll get butterflies in anticipation of getting to go out with someone you really like.

2. SPEND A DAY IN BED

It is way too easy to let sex slip from your relationship - revert back to the days when you couldn't keep your hands off of each other and with a whole day in bed, you'll have time for round two and beyond.

3. TAKE YOUR SEX LIFE OUT OF THE BEDROOM

Not everyone has the same level of adventurousness in them, but whether it's taking your sex life public or just to the living room, it never hurts to try out new places. Think creatively and you just might find your new favorite spot be it on the beach in Malibu or at the LA Zoo. It's bound to get your heart, among other things, racing.

4. DO SOMETHING TOGETHER THAT YOU'RE AFRAID OF

Conquering some sort of fear with another person is the best form of bonding, whether it's sky diving or just watching a scary movie. It's probably one of the easiest ways to make a relationship grow and to instantly feel closer and more connected.

5. BACK OFF ON PRESSURE
Whether you are dying to get married and have kids, meet the family, or even move in together, if you feel like that 7 year itch is rising in your partner, it may be best to lay off a bit. Pressure to jump into something huge is a major reason why people wander off from their mates. Take a step back and when they see how cool you are about it, it just might get them thinking that you are someone to move forward with.

Now when that itch comes along, you can make sure you're the one scratching it for them.
