26 COMMON RELATIONSHIP MYTHS YOU NEED TO STOP BELIEVING IMMEDIATELY

These types of relationship myths can be highly damaging because they are ideas that don’t match up with real people and their real feelings.

1. THERE’S ONE PERSON FOR EVERYONE.

In our modern world, dating is hard enough; imagine if you had to hold out for that single soul that matched yours. The prospect would be quite overwhelming.

2. DOUBT MEANS DON’T.

I believe a thought like that is simply a starting place for investigating your fears and your feelings. It’s time to look deeper within and find out what the anxiety is all about.

Making a commitment like marriage is huge. Why wouldn’t it cause you some anxiety? It’s a life-altering, role-shifting, forever-and-ever proposition.

3. YOU NEED TO BE “100% SURE” WHEN YOU GET MARRIED.

We must embrace these changes if we want to experience the depth of a long-lasting relationship.

4. YOU NEED TO ALWAYS FEEL “A SPARK.”

Sexual needs are going to vary from person to person and relationship to relationship. It’s good to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all prescription for sex.
