Real love

 Do you ever wonder what happened to the couple that rode off into the sunset and lived happily ever after? I love a good romance movie. The good guy gets the girl in the end and they receive all the benefits of love. It is a world of eternal bliss. It makes me feel like all is right with the world. An added bonus, I feel more love towards the C.O. I would think this is a good sign. If I did not think we had a good relationship I would be like, “Why can’t you be that way”?

Where the problem comes in is you never get to see what happens five or ten years down the line. I think that is why we have sequels. Shrek is a great movie.  I liked the premise of it. He is a big ugly ogre and she is the Princes.  Deep down Princes Fiona is just like him.  In addition deep down he is a Prince and a man of honor.

Princes Fiona concealed her true self from the world until she met him. Shrek let her know that he understood. He made Princes Fiona feel safe and alive.  She now was able to reveal herself as she really was to the rest of the world.

Shrek 2 is also good. Most sequels are disappointing but Shrek 2 is good.  Shrek 3 I thought was overdoing it.
They say you have a better chance to live a long and healthy life when you are married or in a long-term relationship.  I have to wonder why.  My guess is because you want to outlive the other person just so you can say I win. Seriously, no I do not think that. It is because you take care of each other
In real life, couples get irritated with each other. The stresses of everyday life start chipping away at the magic invisible shield. The shield that keeps the outside world from touching the bond they share together.  
Nobody ever knows what is around the corner, sickness, death, betrayal.  I think this is why we like fantasy so much. It gives us hope. It reminds us of our own beginning of our current relationship. It gives us hope that there is love out there if we are not in a relationship.
 Relationships are hard, day in and day out. Heck, reality is hard and if the person you need to be there for you is sick, dead or worst of all a liar. A thief of your heart that takes it and  just stomps on it like it was nothing, it can take a big toll on you.
I know this is going to sound terrible bad of me. I have always thought it was romantic when a couple after being married for 50 plus years suddenly one of them dies. The other one follows within 6 months.  He or she could not live without the other. They were probable known to others as the Bickersons. Although, in their quite moments together, they were each other’s life, both depended on the other.

I like to believe they rode off into the sunset hand in hand. Looking back and waving  goodbye. GOOD LUCK!  you can hear them shout out back to us.  And they lived happily ever after.
