Some common relationship myths could hinder your relationships from reaching their true potential, according to couples therapists Gabby Jimmerson and Ellie Baker. These myths suggest that relationships are only ‘right’ if they're easy, with couples often assuming that their life and connection will continue indefinitely. However, successful couples embrace the idea that love requires action and intentionality, even when it's not effortless or convenient. The strongest couples are those who have had to work during tough seasons in their relationship. The myth that “right” means “easy” leaves people unprepared for the work that sustainable relationships require is also cited as a reason for many couples to break up too soon due to differences in their lives. The common belief that once you fix a relationship problem, it stays fixed is also suggested.
