Marriage Myths Busted

You have a grand fairy tale wedding and the prince comes on a horse to take you away to his castle. You have already painted a pretty picture of how it’s going to be for the rest of your life with him. He is your childhood sweetheart and you think the journey will be a cake walk. However, only a few months after you say “I Do”, all your expectations come crashing down. You realise that marriage is far more realistic and practical than what you expected. Read through to know the common myths about life after marriage that young couples firmly believe to be true :

Marriage is for a lifetime

It’s fair to want your happily ever after but if you have tried your best but there seems to be no solution to your problems, don’t insist to live with someone forever. Unlike the older times, where two people had to work through their marriage no matter what, today’s generation has more of a ‘my way or the highway’ kind of an attitude. Earlier, there was simply no room for divorce even if two people were perpetually unhappy. For better or for worse, the word ‘divorce’ is not a taboo anymore. With the growing change in ideologies and far more independent and self-motivated men and women, marriages have had a facelift. Accept the change and move on if its just not working out.

Romantic dates

If you think marriage is all about champagne bottles waiting to pop and moonlight dinners with scented candles all around, you really need a reality check. With marriage comes practicality, which more often than not over shadows romance. Nowadays, both men and women being fiercely ambitious and independent leads to high stress levels, lack of interpersonal communication and hence, less romantic dates. A lot more time is spent at office and with much less time at home, cozy dinners take a back seat. To save yourself from disappointment, it is imperative to be more rational, less emotional.
