Myth 1
Marriage fixes everything 🌟
Reality?
If something feels broken before marriage, it probably won’t magically heal with a wedding band.
Marriage isn’t a quick fix. It’s a deepening of connection — 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 💬
Reality?
Disagreements are a sign you’re human, not doomed.
Healthy conflict can actually strengthen a relationship — when it’s 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 💕
Reality?
Love might be natural, but relationships are intentional.
Long-lasting marriages aren’t built on luck. They thrive because both partners keep showing up — for the hard conversations, the boring Tuesdays, and the joyful milestones
Myth 4
You have to think the same way about everything 🧠
Reality?
Shared values matter more than identical opinions.
You won’t always agree on politics, parenting, or whether pineapple belongs on pizza. That’s okay. What matters most is how you respect each other’s perspectives and find common ground where it counts
Myth 5
Romance fades – and that's just how it is 😶🌫️
Reality?
Romance changes — but it doesn’t have to disappear.
The butterflies may settle, but deeper love often replaces them. Romance isn’t about grand gestures every day — it’s in the coffee they bring you, the way they say “drive safe,” and the hand they reach for when you least expect it.
Myth 6
Your partner should "complete" you 🧩
Reality?
You’re 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 — not fill each other’s missing pieces
Myth 7
Marriage gets boring ⏳
Reality?
It gets different — 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 — it just shifts from wild sparks to warm embers.
