Myths of Marriage
By Ron Kirkegaard, MS, LMFT
We all have ideas in our mind about what a perfect marriage should look like. But is our thinking about marriage correct? No, says author Michael McManus, founder of Marriage Savers, an organization dedicated to the preservation of marriages and conversely the reduction of the divorce rate. He offers several myths about marriage:
1. The purpose of marriage is our personal happiness.
2. The goal of married life is to get my mate to submit to my way of thinking.
3. Love is what holds a marriage together.
