Myths About Love
There are many myths about love. Here are some common fallacies and why they are incorrect. Do any of them apply to you and your relationships?
Love is not forever
The origin of love is God, When God created human beings, He endowed us with the capacity to give and receive love eternally with Him and with each other based on the family as the model of ideal love. Therefore, true love is meant to last eternally.
Women fall in love more quickly
According to studies, about 54 percent of men say they have experienced love at first sight, versus only 41 percent of women.
Women are the ones who want children
Among singles without children under 18, more men (24 percent) than women (15 percent) say they want children.
Men want more space
Across every age group, women want more personal space in a committed relationship, as well as more nights out with their (girl) friends; they are also more likely to want their own bank accounts and to take vacations on their own.
Singles are desperate to get married
About 72 percent of singles would live with someone in the future without marrying. In the 21 to 34 age group, 62 percent of single women and men want to marry, 9 percent do not, and 29 percent aren’t certain about marriage. For singles ages 35 to 44, those numbers drop further. In that category, 40 percent of singles want to wed, 19 percent do not, and 42 percent aren’t certain.
It’s better to be in a relationship than to be single
If you are unhappy being single, you could well be unhappy in a relationship! Being in a relationship is not a solution to personal, psychological or emotional problems. Rather relationships increase those problems.
He/she completes me
Let’s get this clear Jerry Maguire was only a movie, no one completes, only you complete yourself.
Better to Marry the Wrong Person Than Remain Single for Life
Generally speaking, it is less painful to be searching for an end to loneliness than be embroiled in emotional combat of a shaky marriage.
Focus on chemistry, not character
Wrong, especially now that you know that love is not chemistry, but rather energy! Character is always a key to love.
Love is not worth the pain of rejection
It certainly is! How else are you going to find your true love? As the adage suggests, it takes a lot of kissing frogs to find a prince.
Don’t fall in love again
Love not only makes you feel better, it can also improve your health and even help you live longer. Science has proven that love: Keeps you young and Reduces pain.
Expect your partner to change after you are married
if you aren’t happy with the way your partner is now, don’t get married. Never marry potential! There’s an adage that says women marry expecting that they can change their man, while men marry expecting their woman to never change.
No one teaches you how to fall in love
True love has no conditions. However, you can learn from the mistakes your parents and friends made, rather than repeat them. You have to try something different to what you have been doing in the past if you want different results.
Don’t leave your partner
Only you can determine if and when to do this. Sometimes, even when you realize that a relationship isn’t a good fit, you justify staying in it with what seem like logical reasons. You may feel that you won’t find another person who accepts and loves you as much as the current partner.
Love and romance are the same thing
If love is a diamond, romance is rhinestones. Love abides; romance is always considered to be a pleasant experience. Romance likes that it has a holiday where it’s the centre of attention and it might not last forever, however love isn’t all that interested but last forever; love’s got bigger fish to fry. Romance will play you with whispers and compliments; love is busy fixing your leaky roof and taking out the trash.
