Leading Expert Explains Common Marriage Myths

OLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.(rushprnews) – For years, June has been reported to be the most popular month for weddings. Website a-weddingday.com, explains that, fair weather and blooming flowers aside, June’s popularity may well date back to the early Romans, as June was named for Juno, the goddess of women and marriage. Leading expert Dr. Pat Boone says that the saying “first comes love, then comes marriage” might out to be “first comes love, then comes a whole lot of bad advice.” Dr. Boone maintains that there is entirely too much confusing and contradictory misinformation available when it comes to marriage. According to Dr. Boone, “Primarily, people grow up with movies, television, books and personal experiences that give them ideas of what marriage should be like. In reality, most of these beliefs are completely unrealistic, and unrealistic expectations, both conscious and unconscious, tear holes in the fabric of marriage. When was the last time you solved a relationship problem in 30 minutes, including commercials?”

To provide a guide to the most common and most widely-held misconceptions about marriage, Dr. Boone has created My 101 Favorite Marriage Myths.

My 101 Favorite Marriage Myths (ISBN: 0-9724611-4-0) addresses issues such as planning the wedding, managing finances, parenting, the “honeymoon” period, disagreements, and a host of other qualms, questions and quandaries.

Marriage is a 50/50 Partnership
