LOVE is a word often abused, misused and confused with other emotional and feelings. For some, falling in love is one easy thing to do, whilst to others it can be confusing.
Love is a deep-seated emotion that is often peddled by many people as a cheap thing that can easily be found, used and discarded. It is amazing that such a positive and wonderful emotion can be manipulated and misconstrued- some even do the dandiest things for love.
Because of the different perception different folks have about it, it is no wonder that over time, many myths have been formed by people. Some say if you fall in love once, then that might be the only true love one might ever find. Others say, love is blind. Whatever the case maybe, it is no doubt that Love is a beautiful thing.
Here are some love myths you just might need to know.
1. You need to be in love to be complete
Many people mistakenly believe that you only need love to be complete. So, they spend a lot of their time searching for the one to complete them instead of working on themselves. That sure is a hoax.
However, many people expect miracles, by expecting someone who was sad and lonely as a single person to become happier just because they are in love.
2. Love is all that is needed for your relationship to make it work
Whilst love is an important ingredient in any successful relationship, it requires more than a romantic feeling for the relationship to prosper.
Sadly, many relationships are built on this myth, and so when love fades, the relationship crumbles, because there was nothing more sustaining it, like family, friendship and companionship, shared interest and a commitment to each other, come what may.
3. True love goes beyond love at first sight
The romance styles we see in movies have us believing in love at first sight. True love is a type lasts when built on friendship, trust, years of getting to know each other, hard work, understanding, communicating and really getting to spend time and knowing the other person at a much deeper level, than the intense explosion of falling in love that the movies tries to sell us.
4. It is easy to differentiate love from infatuation
Love in its early stages shares the same characteristics as infatuation, and so at this stage it may not be easy to tell them apart. Only time will tell if you are really in love or simply infatuated. Real love realizing this, still chooses to stay and work on building the relationship, and concentrates on getting to know the person, and often sharing the same values.
5. True love is always romantic
Often when people think of love, they think candlelit dinners, picnic baskets, flowers, chocolate, or a trip to an exotic destination for the weekend. These things are all romantic and the as well add spice to the relationship but they are not an expression of true love.
