Top-7 Myths About Marriage you probably did not know

For single people marriage seems to be something like a magic pill. There are dozens of myths about married life. And now it is high time for them to be debunked.

 1. Marriage can fix your problems
The whole idea that everything in your life will get better after the ring is put on your finger is pretty silly. Imagine two people who have a lot of problems: no job, bad habits, no money. If these two people managed to fall in love and marry, how on earth would their marriage create better circumstances for them?
If you are going to marry a person whose habits annoy you – don’t think they would disappear after the wedding. Any habit, tendency or addiction that your love has BEFORE your wedding day will probably get worse after you’re married. It will get worse, or just annoy you more. Either way, the time to see change is before you say, “I do.”

2. Married people have less love life
Of course it is a myth. Married people have intimacy 43% more often than single. Clearly there are periods in a marriage when sex can suffer, for example when there are small babies in a family. But on the whole, marriage has only positive effects on your intimate life.

3. Married people are not lonely
 Being single often equals being lonely. But being in a bad relationship is a million times worse than having no relationship at all. Married persons can feel loneliness too. In the context of a marriage, this may be much worse for them.

4. Marriage can make you happier
If you are not happy with yourself, nobody would make you happier. Marriage doesn’t make you happy. It can bring you great joy, companionship and satisfaction. But alongside it can also bring you frustration, annoyance, anger and confusion.

5. It is a finish line
 Consciously or subconsciously, some feel that they’ve “made it” and achieved something. And this is a dangerous attitude to take. The scary idea that you have got him/her and you don’t need to try anymore, starts to enter your mind. You should better remember that looking attractive, being attentive, staying romantic, sharing intimately and remaining connected are vital to building a long-lasting relationship.

6. ‘I had enough of fun, I am ready to settle now’
The idea that a 50-year-old man needs less ‘fun’ than a 25-year-old is ridiculous. If you see marriage as some sort of tremendous sacrifice, that’s a warning sign. Marriage brings new responsibilities, but your union would bring you some new fun and satisfaction.

7. Marriage is a hard job
Marriage doesn’t need work. Marriage needs attention. Your spouse needs your full and undivided attention at times. The time that you give to your marriage will pay exponential dividends in joy, companionship, sexual satisfaction, and teamwork, but it shouldn’t feel like work. If you are happy, it would rather feel like a play!
