A lot of us are all fond of watching romantic movies. We like the intensity of the 'in love' feeling we get when we watch them. It calms our soul and it makes us feel that love really exists. It makes us laugh and the romantic excitement is very strong. It makes us cry and bring us back to memories that are related to or slightly related to the story. Romantic movies often have a happy ending which makes us believe it always happens. It makes us feel like anything is possible and that love will always win no matter what obstacle we face by watching this kind of movie.
But can this kind of movie damage your real relationship? I will be discussing some of my thoughts about how it can damage a relationship and how it can help viewers to handle more effectively their relationship by watching romantic movies.
Sometimes watching a movie lets us see things from different perspectives. But mind that life is not a fairytale. There is no such thing as prince charming that has all the qualifications you want in a man. That's where it can ruin your real relationship. You tend to be very demanding to your partner because "in the movies" that's what they're supposed to do. You would also probably be over expecting things in your relationship. Cause again, "in the movies" that's how it's supposed to be. Then you are left disappointed. Start thinking that you are not meant for each other. These are some reasons why romantic movies can ruin your relationship. It gets so deep in your mind that you become unaware you are living in a dream, in a movie.
But there are also positive outcomes in watching romantic movies. Some people tend to be more passionate and more understanding to their partners because that's what the movie taught them. That's how the leading role was and they idolized her/him so they copy their ways. They become more loving, forgiving, and all the positive traits that you can think of.
So basically, what we are after we watch a romantic movie depends on our characteristics and depends on our ways of thinking. And it depends on how we let the movie sink in our thoughts. Sometimes it ruins our perspective sometimes it makes a good outcome. The mind is a very strong force and we should learn how to make use of it the good way.

Yes it is. I was expecting it to be longer. I wanted more specific aspects/things to be pointed out. 😅
