- The most annoying marriage myth is on the issue of age. How does one define ‘marriageable age’? The society has set standards as per their conveniences and decided when a man and a woman should marry. Whereas these are individual preferences, one should tie the knot when they are settled, mature and have found the right mate. If marrying in your 20s is not wrong, marrying in your 30s isn’t wrong either, to each their own.
2. One needn’t have the same interests as their partners. In fact researches have proven that having separate interests helps in the overall development of the two. Having very contrasting ideas could be fatal for your relationship but different interests will help you maintain an independency.
3. There is a long standing myth that married couples have less sex than the ones in a relationship. While this allegation is false, it depends from couple to couple. Also, studies have shown that married couples have more adventurous nights under the sheets than compared to other couples.
4. The misconceptions surrounding ‘in-laws’ also needs to go away. In today’s world, all parents want their children to have an independent and free life. A simple funda to follow is to have an open dialogue with your in laws, striking a strong friendship with them is the best.
5. Every marriage stands on its own strengths, some believe that trust is most important, for some it’s the love, and for some its communication. Strengthening your marriage on its own pillars that you and your partner decide on will work best for you. Not two marriages are ever the same.
