Some Say Love....

"I hold onto the night, you looked me in the eye and told me you loved me"- Forever&Always
But you were stealing my heart I fell in love in the back of a cop car"- Cop Car Keith Urban
"A world where you and I belong Where faith and love will keep us strong Exactly who we are is just enough"-Theres a Place For Us Carrie Underwood
"For me you'll always be eighteen and beautiful And dancing away with my heart"- Dancin Away with my heart- Lady A 
"Same old empty feeling in your heart 'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast"-Passenger 

I often look to songs when I think about what love is supposed to be. These quotes come from some of my favorite songs about love, and the words are very applicable to being in a relationship. When I grow up I hope to find a husband who will be my best friend, make me laugh and love me unconditionally. I sometimes think relationships are sugar coated in songs. In media, and especially songs, the story unfolds where two people are in love, something usually bad happens, and the song ends with the two falling back in love. However, in life couples are given daily obstacles to overcome. What I have learned through my parents is that love and marriage is not all about being gushy gushy in love and never getting over the "honeymoon" stage. After 25 years of marriage, my parents are definitely past that. After reading the article, I realized that Angela and her husband may have just grown out of the honeymoon stage. My parents still love each other very much, even after 25 years. However, being in love and being married is much more. Its okay to get in fights and to be sick of each other sometimes, true love is being able to get over the obstacles and realize that not everything is going to be perfect all of the time, but together you will be there to lean on the other person through it all.
