When it comes to our bed and being naked, most of us will only slip out of our pajamas and into our birthday suit when we’re turning up the heat in the bedroom. After a bit of getting down under the sheets, followed by canoodling, we grab the closest clothes and cover up, but experts say this is a bad habit. Although several scientific studies stress our sleepwear can negatively affect our quality of sleep, and overall health, only 10 percent of Americans make it a habit to sleep nude. Sleeping naked provides several health benefits for our body, ranging from an improved hormonal balance and mood to better sex.
Myths about marriage abound. Some myths come from pop culture. For instance, a persistent myth is that your relationship should come easy when you’re with “the one,” said Jazmin Moral, LCSW-C, a psychotherapist who specializes in working with couples in Rockville, Md. Other misconceptions may be born closer to home — inside our own families. If your parents couldn’t argue without yelling and hurling insults, you might think that all conflict is bad and characterized by chaos. If your parents constantly clashed with your grandparents and made comments condemning all in-laws, you might expect to quarrel with yours. If your family had strong beliefs about what a good marriage looks like and expressed these beliefs on a regular basis, you might’ve internalized them yourself. The problem with myths is that when we mistake them for facts, they can potentially hamper our partnerships. Below, you’ll find seven persistent myths followed by their facts.
