Common Myths about relationships

Relationships even after being subjected to constant debates still remain a mystery. However, happiness or depth in a relationship differs from person to person which is why an exact path for a successful relationship cannot be termed beneficial for everyone. So far there have been certain commonly accepted modes of being in relationships.

Here are some commonly held relationship myths:

Soul Mate:

The most common myth is to believe that each and every person has a soul mate or true love. While many do end up finding their special ones, it is not necessary that the same concept applies to everyone. Many get into relationships if the person fits into their requirements and connects on the same ground. So, it is acceptable to have such beliefs however, the phenomenon doesn’t rule for all of them.

Similar personality:

Many hold the misconception that only similar personalities have successful relationships and push them into forming relationships. This is a myth as no one is similar in the world and it is not the personality that attracts one towards each other but the attitude to accept others even if they don’t match your personality.

Love is everything:

Some just like the idea of falling in love and presume that love is the only sufficient factor for a relationship to survive. Relationships begin with mere attraction and flourish into a deeper bond with love but every relationship needs to be worked on. All other qualities are equally important although love is the essential background factor.

Sexual activities:

Believing only sex is the essential factor that fosters relationships is a concept that cannot be conceived as right. Every relationship needs much more than satisfying physical needs; mental and emotional attachment grows your bond stronger and perceiving sex as the only way to attain bliss in a relationship can be forgotten.

Rebound relationship for breakup:

Every relationship when reaches its end is a difficult phase one wishes not to have to deal with. But to get over the breakup ordeal, people believe that a perfect cure in dealing with breakups is to jump into another relationship. In escaping the ordeal, one fails to recognize the reasons for the breakup which might also repeat in the future relationships. Not only that, the person in the immediate relationship might just have to deal with heartbreak if you are not completely over your past.
