I found this very interesting:
" In long-tern relationships, does idealizing our partner set us up for later disappointment? Actually, report Sandra Murray and her colleagues (1996, 2000), positive illusions about partners tend to be prophetic. Those who idealize their dating partners as having many virtues and few faults tend to have more satisfying and longer-lasting relationships. Moreover, idealized perceptions tend to be self-fulfilling; people come to accept their partner's perceptions. Love is not blind, Murray concludes. Rather, it helps create the reality it presumes."
Isn't that amazing.... I just thought I should share that Psychology tidbit with my lj community hahaha.
God Bless!
