3 Wedded Couple Myths Exposed and Debunked so You Can Save Your Marriage Now - By: Anna McCall

If you want to save your marriage you must pay attention to the many myths abounding that can give you unrealistic expectations. Old movies, late-night television, love songs and romance novels all promote an image of marriage that is extremely idealistic. I’m ready to make real waves among those who sell this faulty picture of marriage by debunking three major myths right now in this article:

Marriage Myth No.1: Love is all you need to have a successful marriage.
Fact: To save your marriage and make it a successful one, your connection will need much more than love, although it is a very important ingredient. Besides love, you’ll need support, open-mindedness, communication, reasonable expectations, kindness, encouragement, a sense of humor and a host of other qualities.

Marriage Myth No. 2: Having children usually brings a married couple closer together and adds to marital contentment
Fact: Children bring nervous tension to the marriage, and several studies have shown that the new arrival frequently has the effect of pushing the mother and father farther apart. Couples with children have a slightly lower rate of divorce than childless couples, however. Still, don’t think having a baby will make things better between the two of you, especially if your marriage is already in trouble.

Marriage Myth No. 3: Couples who cohabit before will have better and longer-lasting marriages than couples that do not.
Fact: Many studies have found the exact opposite to be true. Many people wonder, “but how will we know we’re compatible?” One way to find out is to read the Save Your Marriage ebook even before you make the commitment to marry. It will help you strengthen your relationship now by teaching you skills such as letting go, forgiveness, ignoring faults and not caring who’s right.
