When long-term couples realize they stopped trying because they believed love should be effortless

We've been married fifteen years and both of us have stopped trying because we bought into the idea that real love should be effortless, so when things got hard we assumed it meant we weren't meant to be. Now we're wondering if we gave up on something good because we believed love myths instead of learning how to actually love each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
