Mitch Albom, in his book "Have a Little Faith: a True Story," discusses the unrealistic expectations many people have regarding marriage. He suggests that individuals often look for perfection and constant happiness in their relationships, influenced by the portrayals seen in television and movies. This belief can lead to disappointment when the reality does not match these idealized standards.

Albom emphasizes that the true human experience of marriage is not about perfection but rather about navigating life's ups and downs together. By acknowledging that challenges are a natural part of relationships, couples can have a more realistic and fulfilling partnership, moving beyond the superficial ideals often showcased in popular culture.
