The institution of marriage is surrounded by a number of myths,
stories and advice freely offered by people on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, many people listen to and believe these pieces of
so-called wisdom to the point where it doesn't help their
marriage and it only hinders its growth.
Many of the myths regarding relationships are incredibly
damaging and it is unfortunate that they are such common
beliefs. Once you understand why certain bits of advice or
information can be regarded as myths, you can break through what
could be blocking the growth of your marriage.
In fact, you may actually learn to appreciate your spouse and
your role in your marriage even more.
Sensationalist television, magazines and talk radio have been
key players when it comes to fueling any belief that there is a
battle between the sexes happening.
While there are definitively some physical and psychological
differences, they are not enough to earn the term 'battle' as a
description.
When you allow yourself to consider any kind of battle between
the sexes, you risk grouping all men or all women into a certain
category and that leads to stereotyping.
Once you recognize that your partner is a unique individual with
a number of positive attributes, you can shed the thought that
there should be any type of conflict between the two of you.
Any thought of battle or conflict only leads to lack of
communication, misunderstandings and discourages growth in any
relationship.
Nice guys finish last is one of the worst possible sayings
floating around today.
Whoever thought of that and actually uttered those words must
have been feeling truly low and full of self-pity because there
simply cannot be any other explanation. Nice guys never finish
last.
They may have a longer and harder road sometimes, but it isn't
often that you see the bullies and jerks finishing first. If
they aren't, who is? It's the nice guys, but they are so nice
and gracious you don't hear them bragging about it.
It is also important to note that the word 'nice' doesn't mean
'weak' or ' effeminate' in any way. Nice means socially or
conventionally correct; refined or virtuous and not at all
negative in any way.
Nice is not another word for push over or spineless. Nice is as
close to a 'perfect' man as you can come and they always end up
first in line.
Romance is all you need in order to save your relationship is a
wonderfully optimistic thought, but not quite accurate.
If simple romance were enough to save a marriage, it would be
running wonderfully rampant throughout the world today.
Unfortunately, it takes more than simple romance.
If you truly feel love for your spouse and you are expressing it
through romance, then it will save your marriage. If you are
trying to use romance to buy some time or to placate your
spouse, then you are only buying time or placating your spouse.
Your time as a married couple is most likely limited and should
be attended to immediately by a professional.
