Today's myth: “Married = having a partner for life”

This is regrettably false, and very easy to prove.

We all have had our own partners and known a lot of couples that seemed like 2 lovebirds. And where are those couples now? Obviously love doesn’t always last forever.

Well, it doesn’t mean love isn’t real, or that there aren’t happy couples that last, no! Nothing could be further than the truth.

What it means is the fact that there is a myth involving the believe that after getting married it will all end up going well by itself, but we all know the reality is very different.

A good example is a curious popular belief that consist on the fact that after marriage, the man start to develop a beer belly, and the woman stops worrying about her looks. This happens because their both take each other for granted.
