What is the key to a happy life? I think this is the question we most ask ourselves during life. Some people think the key is in finding that one person which makes the world go round. Your soul mate.
Ive been reading a book about love stories of the second world war and I have been inspired. These couples have lasted 50 and 60 years together, never giving up on each other. Loving unconditionally. These are people who have sworn to wake up next to each other each day of their lives, during good and rough times and still feel the same way they felt when they fell inlove.
Our generation has been discouraged, we don't believe in the existance of love or marriage. The truth is we simply don't think its possible to love one person forever. We want it all to be easy and as soon as we see a complication we bail on each other.
Why not follow the example of these older couples? Why not try it? If they have managed to lead a happy life with one person, why can't we? I know love alone, sometimes isn't enough, but a wise person once told me love isnt just a feeling, love is commitment and patience.
The example of this to me are my grandparents, who celebrate their 50th anniversary together today. They admmit it hasn't always been sunshine and rainbows but the love they have for each other simply beat all the odds against them. I know this isnt usually my style of writing, you know in the name of love. But I thought why not be hopeful at least one day...you know 50 years IS kind of a special occassion after all.
Congratulations and I hope you both live to share many more years together!
Maria
