Myth 1
Marriage fixes everything đ
Reality?
If something feels broken before marriage, it probably wonât magically heal with a wedding band.
Marriage isnât a quick fix. Itâs a deepening of connection â not a patch for problems. The strongest marriages are built on honesty, communication, and shared growth before the vows are exchanged.
Myth 2
You should never fight if you're truly in love đŹ
Reality?
Disagreements are a sign youâre human, not doomed.
Healthy conflict can actually strengthen a relationship â when itâs respectful and constructive. It's not about if you argue, but how you argue. Learning to listen, apologize, and compromise is part of the real love story.
Myth 3
Good marriages are effortless đ
Reality?
Love might be natural, but relationships are intentional.
Long-lasting marriages arenât built on luck. They thrive because both partners keep showing up â for the hard conversations, the boring Tuesdays, and the joyful milestones
Myth 4
You have to think the same way about everything đ§
Reality?
Shared values matter more than identical opinions.
You wonât always agree on politics, parenting, or whether pineapple belongs on pizza. Thatâs okay. What matters most is how you respect each otherâs perspectives and find common ground where it counts
Myth 5
Romance fades â and that's just how it is đ¶âđ«ïž
Reality?
Romance changes â but it doesnât have to disappear.
The butterflies may settle, but deeper love often replaces them. Romance isnât about grand gestures every day â itâs in the coffee they bring you, the way they say âdrive safe,â and the hand they reach for when you least expect it.
Myth 6
Your partner should "complete" you đ§©
Reality?
Youâre whole already. A partner complements, not completes.
Relying on someone else for your sense of self is heavy for both of you. Healthy marriages are made of two whole people choosing to grow together â not fill each otherâs missing pieces
Myth 7
Marriage gets boring âł
Reality?
It gets different â and sometimes deeper.
Yes, routines settle in. But within those routines are thousands of small love stories: inside jokes, quiet hugs, knowing glances. Marriage can be an adventure â it just shifts from wild sparks to warm embers.
