Love is such a beautiful and special emotion for which everyone craves and desire it. Unfortunately, over a period of time, many misconceptions and myths are added to the word 'LOVE', which in reality destroys a relationship and feeling of love. The problem with the myths is that many of us logically know that they are false, but still our heart and actions are governed by them. Here are some of the myths:
All the fairy tales and moral stories that you read in your childhood settled a notion in your mind that love is the core of all the happiness in life. But, in reality, that's not true. Love never is the key to solving all the major problems in life, as each problem comes with a unique solution and mere love cannot solve it or give us happiness.
Love may feel like an infinite and spiritual never ending experience that transcends other experiences of life. Those in love are ever ready to give up anything for their partner or relationship. But as time passes, love starts fading. Love, in all forms, is fragile and requires ongoing efforts in order to endure life's ups and downs. To make your love stand the test of time, you need to tend your relationship and keep working towards it.
Firstly, you don't need a 'soulmate' to decode you. And secondly, believing in such a myth only leads to failure and disappointment. You cannot expect your partner to know about your feelings and thoughts unless you communicate them. Good communication is a highlighting feature of all the successful relationships. Only when you'll spend time with each other and communicate on a regular basis will you know about the thought process and emotions of your significant other.
No, they're not. A relationship based on true love generates deep understanding and respect between the two, whereas a relationship governed by physical attraction or lust is limited to personal physical satisfaction. They may look the same but they are very different.
Now that's complete crap. It is an old myth that makes you believe that if you are separated from your partner for a short or long period of time, your love for him/her will intensify and increase with time. However, logical thinking suggests that if you stay away from each other for a long time, chances are that the bonding and affection may weaken and you might get involved with someone else.
The vision of romantic love, 'happily ever after', is the ideal that most of us strive in our personal lives. Many men and women believe that when their Mr/Mrs Right will come in their lives, they will finally feel happy and complete. All of their needs will be fulfilled; they will be able to accomplish all their goals; and they will finally be happy. No man or woman should live up to these expectations, nor do they need to in order to be healthy, loving partners. It's high time that you understand that there's no happily ever after and real love is far different from the image reinforced in our minds through movies, television and books. Letting go of these old myths is not really an easy process. When we build our lives around these myths, it can lead to disappointment, emotional trauma, depression, breakup etc. You should learn to give up on these false myths about love and try to form a healthy relationship with someone who loves you for who you are and expects nothing more from you than love.
