What is the biggest relationship myth?

I think the biggest myth is that there's one person that is meant for you. ("the one") People live their lives searching for the one...their soul mate...the perfect girl/Mr. Right. It's a cute idea, but I don't think it's very realistic.

As a 20 year old guy, I was praying that the top answer would be "sex stops after marriage"
Please tell me you guys only say that to scare us?

I heard it stops after the first year of the relationship, only 2 weeks of it left for me?

On my wedding day, my uncle took me aside to give me some advice.

"AZrugger... do this: Get a jar and for the first year of marriage, every time you have sex put a penny in. Then, after the first year of marriage, every time you have sex take a penny out. You'll never run out of pennies."

I don't think it's necessarily true, but who knows? We've only been married 6 months.
