johnny cash and june carter.
as individual artists, as human beings, as christians, as a couple: these two are so inspiring. johnny and june lead their own, strong, individual lives apart from each other, and yet they could find the strength in themselves to be vulnerable and accountable for the other. -- you're probably thinking, what? you don't have to be strong to be in a relationship; in fact, it's usually the opposite! -- but no, it takes strength to break your own pride, be selfless & allow yourself to love another. its a hard task & responsibility, but june carter was able to do that with johnny cash, and i would like to have her courage and be in a relationship like theirs one day.

I wrote that above excerpt on my MySpace "Who I'd Like to Meet" and it got me thinking.
Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong era. I'm a girl, yes; I'm independent, yes. But what ever happened to girls wearing dresses everyday? Or boys being gentlemen? What happened to marriage & love being more important than money & careers?
It makes me wonder, sometimes, about this generation. Is God's existence really ceasing this much? To the point of women forgetting their roles of being submissive to their husbands, and husbands being too lazy [yet controlling] to provide for their families?
At the same time, maybe that's why I am in this era. Maybe God can use me to be the light to shine it all back. To bring hope back into relationships and love.
As hard as it seems to be to believe, marriage isn't supposed to end in divorce. Yes, I understand 50% of marriages in America today do, but that doesn't mean it has to be like that for everyone.
If you're good with God, God will bless you with someone else. Someone you can be there for and help in their lives. And vice versa. God doesn't want you to be alone. He wants you to have someone and to be happy in your love triangle [i - God - you]. (Gen. 2:18)
