Relationship facts will serve you better than myths
We know that much conventional marriage advice isn't always true or helpful, but the facts we've discovered about relationships will serve you well.
1) Common interests keep you together. They won't if you don't interact in a positive way when engaging in common interests. (Remember, 5:1!)
2) Never go to bed angry. If you're flooded and you need a break, sleeping on it isn't a bad idea at all.
3) Couples therapy is for fixing a broken marriage. Couples therapy can help repair serious issues, but it's more effective as preventative maintenance.
4) Affairs are the main cause of divorce. False. According to a study, 80 percent of divorced men and women cited growing apart as the reason for divorce.
5) Marriages benefit from a "relationship contract." Instead of keeping score of who does what for whom, building a culture of appreciation in your marriage is a much better approach.
