Editing Interpersonal relationship (section)

=== Popular perceptions ===
Popular perceptions of intimate relationships are strongly influenced by movies and television. Common messages are that love is predestined, love at first sight is possible, and that love with the right person always succeeds. Those who consume the most romance-related media tend to believe in predestined romance and that those who are destined to be together implicitly understand each other. These beliefs, however, can lead to less communication and problem-solving as well as giving up on relationships more easily when conflict is encountered.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Holmes |first1=Bjarne |title=In search of my 'one and only'; Romance-related media and beliefs in romantic relationship destiny |journal=Electronic Journal of Communication |date=October 2007 |volume=17 |issue=3/4 }}</ref>
