Myths about Marriage and Parenting (cont.)

Here are a couple of myths to think about which will end the introduction to this topic.

MYTH #6

Frequent conflicts are a sign that a marriage is in trouble

REALITY #6

Your willingness to engage in conflict determines the depth and quality of your relationship. In all relationships there is a certain amount of tension or conflict.

MYTH #7

Spending lots of time together is very important

REALITY #7

The est relationships are low maintenance, high intimacy. As in many relationships (partner/partner, parent/child, friends, etc.) it is more about quality of time spent than the quantity of time.

Allison, I am sure will make a few comments about the MYTHS/REALITIES and then we will proceed to discuss the core values that keep relationships alive and well.
