Some Erroneous Beliefs About Love

Love is one of the most misunderstood concepts in the world. Here are seven beliefs about love that have been proved to be erroneous.

You  can change anyone if you love them enough

It is a fairy tale to believe that anyone can change for love.

The truth is that this kind of thinking will leave you trapped in hopeless relationships, waiting for someone not worthy of your time to change.

Some people can change. But if you’re seeing no signs of it, don’t wait around for it just because of love.

You will never argue in healthy relationship

Healthy relationships might be more blissful than toxic ones. But there will still be arguments. All couples fight eventually and it doesn’t mean that they don’t love each other. Disagreeing is normal and healthy, and one of the hurdles you’ll have to overcome.

Love has to lead to marriage

Tradition says that love has to lead to marriage, and that marriage is the ultimate declaration of love. But regrettably, marriage isn’t for everyone.

And while we think of marriage today as an act of love, it’s way beyond that.

Love  has to be dramatic

Although the relationships in the shows we grew up watching, like “Sex and the City”, “Friends”, and “Gossip Girl” are full of drama, real love doesn’t have to be so dramatic.

If you are in love, you can’t be lonely

Ha! In theory, being in a loving relationship should help to ease loneliness. But people who are in love can and do feel lonely for a variety of reasons.

Love doesn’t stop two people from working in different countries. And it doesn’t stop couples from spending Saturday night alone during a fight.

Unfortunately, love is not an end to loneliness.

Love is only for the young

Again, some people think of love as being an experience for the young only.

In popular culture, most of the stories we consume about love feature young characters. But in reality, love is for people of all ages.

You’re never too old to fall in love.

Love will make you happy

Love is often represented as the ultimate happy ending, but that’s not necessarily correct. It isn’t a fix-all cure.

If you’re unhappy before you find love, you won’t suddenly be a different, happier person after you’ve found it.

The best relationships can definitely enhance our lives, but they can’t make us happy all on their own.
