I've been married for eight years, and the biggest myth I see online is that long-term marriage kills passion. Sure, the honeymoon phase fades, but what replaces it—deep trust, shared history, inside jokes—is something a fling can't replicate. My wife and I still have date nights, but we also enjoy just sitting in silence with our coffee on Sunday mornings. So when people say marriage becomes a boring routine, I have to ask: are they confusing comfort with boredom?
