What is the most beautiful love story? (Apart from God's love for humanity) Is it two lovey-doveys falling in love in the most romantic setting? Is it about a couple that fought against all odds in order for them finally come together? Well, I must agree that these above examples are quite sweet and touching, but what moves me the most is amazingly much more simpler and unexpected.
I find it really touching to see an old feeble couple walking hand in hand and looking at each other intimately in the eyes. The old man will ask his wife, " Are you feeling alright, my dear?" and the his wife would reply, " I am fine. Do you need a rest?". Such simple acts of care and concern really outline the essence of a time tested relationship. This is the kind of love that truly binds both of them together. This is the kind of love that never fails. This is the kind of love that tolerates and accomodate. This is the kind of love that is tested through the wrath of time. This is the kind of love that I really believe is blessed by God.
This simple picture painted is a powerful representation of love. It is something that summarises and brings out the essence of the immense attraction between two people. It underlies the foundation of the couple's relationship. It is a testimony to the times they shared. It is a testimony to the hardships they both went through together. It is a testimony to their undying bond. What relationship can be more beautiful than this?
This is the kind of relationship we all should be aiming for. This is the kind of relationship we should be striving for. No matter what state your partner is in, you will love him or her till death do you both part. It sounds so cliche for me to bring this up, but really, come to think of it, it is never easy to commit to a relationship with such perseverance. I long for this kind of relationship I long for, something that I'll pray for. How sweet can this be? It just warms my heart. To all lovers out there, that should be the final destination of your relationship, till death do you part...
