Romantic stories are fascinating. I remembered reading a series of them in my teenage years. And most movies nowadays have mixes of romantic scenes, especially the types shown on zee world
If you've never been in a relationship and you watch romantic movies or read novels, you would love to find a partner asap so that you can also enjoy the sweetness preached in the movies or novels. But in the real sense, what you see is not what you would see
The effect of romantic movies and novels on relationships
Whether we believe it or not, most romantic movies and novels contain a facet of delusion and fiction which creates a faux notion about love and relationship depending on the understanding of the reader or how they feel about it
There are different types of romantic novels and movies. Some can be harmful because of the storyline. Take for instance a storyline of a bad boy in love with a good girl and in the end change because of the love he has for her. This is something that rarely happens in real life. Adults with experience know that it's ideological for such to happen but someone with little or no experience can easily act based on what they read because the ending of every romantic movie or novel is always interesting, and you know what, vast number of people have fumbled based on naive approach to relationship and that's why countless high school dating doesn't go far
Also, some people (not necessarily a teenager) believe that love can change anything or anybody no matter how bad the person is. It's possible, but truly speaking, it's not easy. Most people who follow that path or line of belief end up in a hell of a relationship. Books and movies make us have the notion that it's possible but it's really dangerous, harmful and unrealistic in real life
Many people who don't know what they want in a relationship are mostly influenced by what they watch and read. We must all understand that we are different and we cannot all drive our relationship the same way. While jack and Jully love going out always, Mary and Sam enjoy spending most of their time indoors. If you have a spouse that loves staying indoors and you love outings, you can sharply be influenced by The sweet scene of lovers like jack and Jully in a movie or a novel. The thing is knowing what we want in a relationship is key.

Romantic movies and novels also have a very good part they can play in a relationship. We can get a lot of ways to treat our partners right by reading or watching romantic piece
Do romantic movies or books give high hope in a relationship?
Just as I've mentioned earlier, most romantic movies and novels are fictional and it's easier to write about an overly sweet relationship than to make one happen in reality. So every interesting side of a romantic story can possibly set a high hope in a relationship.
"Eddie always makes hot tea for his spouse before she gets out of bed every morning. He cooks breakfast most of the time and takes the kids to school. He takes his wife shopping every weekend. He loves his wife so much that he never wanted her to stress herself for any reason, plus they go to the cinema every Friday evening to see romantic movies"
Most ladies would love to have someone like Eddie. Anyone fond of reading romantic novels or watching romantic movies with interesting qualities of love would always expect similar treatment from their partner because everyone want to be treated like an egg. But the fact that your partner isn't doing all these doesn't disqualify him from being a good partner. We all have different ways that appeal to us to put a smile on peoples faces. (The same goes for the guys too, so I won't be one-sided)
Truly, it would be fantastic if the sweet and interesting things we read and see in most romantic movies and novels is the standard of the relationship we have in existence.

Finally, Romantic movies and novels aren't bad. We only need to set our minds to the fact that we are having fun and being entertained. And if there are scenes that we think would add value and more life to our relationship, we can buy the idea if we think it can make our partner happy. Though romantic movies and novels over hype love and relationship sweetness, we can learn a lot from them to please our partner instead of expecting much from our spouse after being influenced by the intriguing romantic fantasy
