7 Myths About Marriage

1. As women get older, as more their expectations grow and the change to be alone

A long time ago, if a woman wasn't getting married until she was 24 years old, then it was meant for her to be alone for the rest of her life. Wrong.

Even if we accumulate a good knowledge about men and life experiences, it will come the day when we'll want to have a family of our own.

2. Marriage is just a piece of paper that does not matter. Wrong.

The commitment of marriage makes you think seriously that you're not involved just into a relationship from which you can leave whenever you want; it means that you should fight for your love every day unconditionally. This will unearth the purest feelings of love.

3. After marriage, love disappears and the sex life gets worse. Wrong.

Maybe it doesn't happen as often as during the first months, but you must admit that the sexual act improved, and the romance has other connotations now. It depends on you to keep this fire alive.

4. The myths of the spread gang. Some believe that after marriage, they won't hang out with their friends as often as they were used to. Wrong.

It's true that the life couple will assume some liabilities and responsibilities but that does not mean that you have to quit the social life.

5. Marriage is a way to master your unfaithful partner. Wrong.

If there was such a mentality in the past, in today's age things have changed. The partners choose increasingly hard to cheat and it is even 'in fashion' to have other lovers besides the spouse. Only love keeps your partner close to you. The faithfulness is the result.

6. After marriage, goodbye freedom and fun in bars or clubs. Wrong.

Freedom is the same, but it is perceived in a constructive manner. So if you were using to consider the flirt as being funny, then yes, you might be right, but when it comes about going out with your friends, then you shouldn't get worried.

7. The ring ends the loneliness. Wrong.

Marriage doesn't aim to cure your depression and the partner has no obligation to make you get rid of your painful memories from the past.

The psychologist Larry Crab compares this behavior with that of a mosquito settled on the back of a dog. The mosquitoes has no interest at all to improve the dog's life, it simply doesn't hurry. The tragedy of some marriage is that both partners gather debts from the past and marriage is like two mosquitoes, with no dog. Solve your problems before getting married.
