 | Myth: 50% of all marriages end in divorce. |
| Reality: It's around 1/3rd.
|
| Myth: We have to agree and work together on this problem for it to work. |
| Reality: It really takes only one motivated partner to work toward and cause effective change in a marriage.
|
| Myth: We have irreconcilable differences, or "That's not the person I married." |
| Reality: Sometimes core values and beliefs concerning morality change over time but usually it's a part of another side of the partner that was part of the initial unconscious attraction. When asked how the partner was chosen, the responses tend to center on positive feelings about the other. Often these feelings include both positive characteristics and equally strong negative but highly attractive more unconscious feelings about the other.
