Ten Harmful Myths About Love 1. Love is the solution Contrary to all our cultural conditioning and expectations, love is irrelevant in solving relationship problems. 2. If you really loved me youd __________. Love does not govern the behavior of people. In fact, we often save our worst behavior for those we love. 3. When youre in a healthy relationship, you do not argue or fight. Love hurts, and good loving hurts a lot! 4. If I am in a good relationship I wont feel lonely. A relationship can only distract you from a sense of loneliness. It does not cure it. The cure for your loneliness will come from developing a better relationship with yourself. 5. You must think alike to have a good relationship. A good relationship is based on accepting differences and finding a value in these differences. 6. There is such thing as a perfect relationship. We are a nation obsessed with being perfect. There are no perfect relationships. Instead of striving for perfection, we should be striving to have a healthy and genuine relationship. 7. A good relationship is based on compromise. Compromise has been confused with submission. Submitting to your partners desires will breed resentment and retaliation, not harmony. 8. We need to work harder at our relationship. More effort in a troubled relationship rarely produces positive results. What is needed is new information, not effort. 9. Desire equals ability. Our emotional desire to be a good partner exceeds our ability. 10. Till death do us part! Romantic relationships and marriages are held together with an extremely fragile emotional bond. Taking a relationship for granted is dangerous and will often result in tragedy. By Dr. Allen Burger, PH.D
