Almost everyone suffers severe disappointment within a few months after marriage/ intimate relationship. One of the main reasons for this is that modern marriage/ intimate relationship is based on many myths or false assumptions.

  • People marry because they love each other.
  • Most married/ intimate people love each other.
  • Love is necessary for a satisfactory marriage.
  • There are inherent behavioural and attitudinal differences between females and males, and these differences cause most marital troubles.
  • The advent of children automatically improves a difficult or an unfulfilled marriage.
  • Marriage/ intimate relationship cures loneliness.
  • If partners fight, they have a poor marriage/ intimate relationship.
