CHAPTER 3
One of the biggest reasons you might believe you're a relationship failure when in fact you are not is because you think you and your partner should be following certain "rules" or meeting certain standards in your relationship.
Applying logic to the emotions of love and romance doesn't work.
I am about to share with you ten of the most dangerous relationship myths that are commonly taught, believed in, and practiced. Some of these myths have been part of your mind-set for so long that you might have difficulty even contemplating the idea that they are false. They sound so right, they sound so nice. They sound so logical!
Based on results, these myths don't have one whit to do with whether your relationship is successful. Wrong information means wrong decisions, and wrong decisions mean wrong results.
It is thus critical that you move your position on these ten commonly held beliefs about what makes a healthy relationship so that you do not continue to misdiagnose and mistreat your relationship. Your quest for relational happiness must begin with right thinking - and that means first ridding yourself of wrong thinking - cleansing the "lens" to your core of consciousness so that the truth, your innate wisdom, can shine through. Now is the time to get the myths out of your head and out of your plans so that you can be open to focusing on what does really matter in a relationship.
