Television
Anyone that watches Grey's Anatomy knows that these two have been at each other since Day 1. They hooked up, Mer found out McDreamy was married and when that all started to fall apart, we all remember when Meredith made her case "Pick me. Choose me. Love me." Even when things were good, they were STILL fighting!! They both finally get over their hang ups and get married in the break room on a Post-It note. AWWWW!! And that season finale last week?! Meredith not only almost loses Derek, but she loses their baby. These guys have been through it all and they still love each other.
Lesson I learned? Through better or worse. In sickness and in health has never meant more to me. Being the child of divorced parents & growing up in a world where 85% of the people I grew up with came from split families, it's not an option for me when I get married. We find a way to work through it, don't throw in the towel at the first sign of trouble and say "that's it! I'm done!" You can't do that. Find a way to work it out. Divorce should only be used in EXTREME circumstances, but that's just my opinion.
If you watched Gilmore Girls (or STILL watch the reruns like I do) you know all about Luke and Lorelai. I knew from the first time I saw the characters together on screen that they were going to end up together. I didn't know how or when, but their chemistry was so natural and amazing that I knew I would die if they didn't get together. I can't remember a time when Luke and Lorelai weren't fighting, whether it was an honest to goodness "Rory we have to find somewhere else to get coffee" fight or one of their adorable sparing matches with all the references that only they would understand. Luke stood by while Lorelai complained or praised that episodes boyfriend. Sure, Luke had his fair share of relationships, but none of them were ever as complicated as hers. Right now they're showing the episodes from when Luke "accidentaly" marries Nicole on the cruise. Lorelai's reaction isn't one of a friend who is just looking out for someone important to her; she's jealous. Somehow through all of this, they still end up together. Through all the relationship drama, they find each other.
Lesson I learned? Be patient for the one you love. They might date other people and break your heart without even knowing it, but if it's true love, one that's meant to be, that person will come back to you, every time.
Everyone always thought that Joey would always end up with Dawson, the nerdy film maker from across the creek who was, in every sense of the word, her soul mate. As Jen is laying on her death bed she makes Joey choose once and for all, whose it gonna be? Joey runs, not to Dawson, but pain in the butt, makes her want to scream/rip all her hair out/frustrates her to no end Pacey. Joey and Pacey always had a love/hate relationship, or maybe more of a love to hate relationship. They were always fighting, always at odds with each other. In the end though, that's who Joey CHOSE!! Sure things could have been simple and easy with Dawson. He was familiar to her. They were best friends and knew everything about each other, but with Pacey, things would be difficult.
Lesson I learned here? Hate the one you love. hahaha Seriously, love is a choice! It's not always an easy choice and sometimes it can take YEARS to make, but I think the struggle to get there will be worth it.
Next post will feature couples in movies that I think follow this same pattern. I'm still not convinced if I think it's just a literary technique or if this really happens in life. What's your opinion? Have you ever had a relationship like one of the couples above or one of the 3 I mentioned last time? If so, let me know! I'd love to know how it worked out for you!
Hope you guys have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Around here, this weekend is the beginning of the "summer season" which runs from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. Everyone will be at the lake or going on vacation while I begin the summer job search. Wish me luck!
Love,
Jen
