Love. Just that one single word has inspired poetry, works of art, novels and yes, even war. Young girls everywhere dream of the romantic or courtly love like those of Chaucer’s writings. However, the enormous white wedding and the handsome prince fairytale of our Cinderella fantasies are soon replaced by reality.
Though that reality may be the one we want, it is never perfect. Obstacles such as unplanned parenthood, lack of money and not knowing how to run a household are all too often the pitfalls of marriage. Finding a way to overcome these hurdles is the key.
Lensmaster j_barnhart4 has a story to tell. The Story of Us gives us a hero and heroine that you cheer for, cry for and pray for. You see, Cinderella got to go to the ball in this story, but she was already 5 months pregnant.
I have read this lens time and again. I am not ashamed to say I have shed tears every time. There is nothing more touching than a true to life, forever and ever, Amen, love story.
A young couple, high school sweethearts, begins life together under already tough circumstances. It’s a story we hear over and over, but too many times the ending is not a happy one. We hear it from our parents and other adults that marriage takes work and patience and love. It is not until we actually make the commitment to this partnership that we realize just how much of each of these things it really requires. Many cannot or will not commit that much. With the divorce rate as high as fifty percent these days, it is rare to see young couples make it who start out already behind the eight ball.
Does this young couple manage to come to grips with life’s harsh realities? Read this lens and see. ETOOT!
