When we're in a long-term relationship, we love each other, and everything is wonderful, it seems only logical to think about marriage. Popular Hollywood couple Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth also did this, but to the surprise of many, they divorced. Their case made us wonder why a marriage can end so quickly after a long relationship. Maybe you know the answer?
Hollywood is the talk these days Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, who after broke up after one year of marriage – the couple dated for a decade, but eventually decided it was better if they parted ways. The singer and actress announced the news to her fans via the Twitter social network, where she explained at length that she was never unfaithful to her husband. Among other things, she wrote that she loves her ex-husband and will love him forever.
Their situation led us to think, why marriages tend to end quickly after a long relationship (we don't mean infidelity, violence or lack of emotion) - is it because of the false expectations we got from romance movies and books?
3 honest reasons why marriages tend to end quickly after a long relationship:
Lack of commitment
When we're newly in love, we look for new ways to impress our better half, but once the bubble called the honeymoon wears off, our enthusiasm tends to wane. We still love our partner, but we begin to take him for granted - as someone who is a part of us and knows us in detail, which makes us think that we don't have to try anymore.
What to do?
Every chance you get, tell your partner that you love them, that they mean a lot to you, and that you're grateful to have them in your life.
Changed goals and needs
As people grow up and face different life situations, it is not unusual for us to change our goals as well. The problem arises when two people who should be looking in the same direction are looking completely different.
What to do?
Try to understand why your partner has certain goals that are different from yours (and vice versa). If they don't face the facts, things will only get worse, which is a perfect recipe for disaster.
Incompatibility
Most people have unrealistic expectations of a relationship. The image of a perfect couple is too often completely different from real life. Not every day will be magical and sometimes you will need your space, which proves that you cannot live on love, but on mutual understanding. Only in marriage will you really know if you are compatible.
What to do?
If you are not married, don't rush to get married, but get to know yourself and your partner, otherwise accept the fact that you will also have to be patient, restrained and understanding (and vice versa).
What about sexuality?
Mismatch, lack of commitment and changed goals can be the main reasons why people break up a long-term relationship (later marriage), but it also plays an important role sexuality. In the website survey superdrug, in which 1,500 Americans and Europeans participated, found out why women and men end a long-term relationship.
The main reason why women end a relationship is related to romantic exits - 16 % namely, he considers them to be partners they don't take you on dates. They are much more important to men praise, because 15 % of them say that they ended the relationship because they never receive compliments from their partners.
