Ahh love. So many songs, movies, novels, tv shows, poems have tried to depict the curious nature of love. From when we are born, we are told just exactly what love should be like. Sometimes, these messages are always accurate and inevitably leave us disappointed. Here are a few relationship myths every couple should forget…
True Love is Simple…
True love is SO easy and powerful that it will sweep any difficulties that come your way. Eeek, nuh uh! So many couples have the idea that love should just flow. And if there is something wrong or you’re arguing, it means you’re not in love anymore. In the beginning love is easy because you’re both on your best behaviour. But over time, as we become more ourselves with our partner, we have an opportunity to let your love deepen.
The Perfect Man/Woman in Your Life
Somewhere, there is a person who can answer every need and desire you have. No one is perfect and when we set someone up to one ideal, they are going to eventually fail. Even the most amazing partners have qualities we don’t love.
Love Completes You
The relationship myth that we buy into that tells us we’re incomplete without someone can feed the myth just mentioned above. Feeling unfulfilled shouldn’t be about your partner. A good partner can help us learn about ourselves but shouldn’t let us get lost in someone else’s personality.
Love That is Endlessly Passionate
Love that gives us constant butterfly-in-our-belly feelings definitely does not exist, and it shouldn’t either! Imagine love that has you constantly infatuated with someone… How would you ever get anything done!? Every relationship has ups and downs and working on any issues is crucial to this. Love is about commitment as well as keeping a relationship honest and open.
