There are a lot of myths, stories, and pieces of advice that people tell each other every day about marriage.
Unfortunately, a lot of people listen to and believe these so-called pieces of wisdom to the point where it hurts their marriages instead of helping them.
Many of the myths about relationships are very harmful, and it's a shame that so many people believe them. Once you know why some pieces of advice or information might be considered myths, you can break through what might be stopping your marriage from growing.
In fact, you may come to value your partner and your role in the marriage even more.
Sensationalist TV, magazines, and talk radio have all played a big role in making people think that men and women are fighting each other.
Even though there are definitely some physical and mental differences, they are not enough to call it a "battle."
When you think about a battle between men and women, you run the risk of putting all men or all women into the same group, which leads to stereotypes.
Once you realise that your partner is a unique person with a lot of good qualities, you can let go of the idea that you should have problems with them.
Any thought of battle or conflict stops people from talking to each other, causes misunderstandings, and stops any relationship from growing.
The saying "Nice guys finish last" is one of the worst things you can hear today.
Whoever came up with that idea and said those words must have been feeling very sad and sorry for themselves. There is no other way to explain it. The good guys never come in last.
Bullies and jerks may sometimes have a longer and harder path, but it's not often that they come in first. Who is, if not them? It's the nice guys, but they're so nice and kind that they don't brag about it.
It's also important to know that the word "nice" has nothing to do with being weak or girly. Nice means that someone is socially or socially-acceptable, refined, or good, and not at all bad in any way.
Nice is not a synonym for weak-willed or spineless. Nice is as close as you can get to a "perfect" man, and nice guys always get to the front of the line.
All you need to save your relationship is romance. is a very positive thought, but it's not quite right.
If simple romance were enough to keep a marriage together, it would be happening all over the world right now. Sadly, it takes more than just love to get there.
If you really care about your partner and show it through romance, your marriage will be saved. If you try to use romance to buy time or to make your partner happy, you will only buy time or make your partner happy.
Most likely, the time you have left as a married couple is short, and a professional should help you right away.
