Young Romance

Why is it that so many fall in love at the wrong moment in life? The moment when least expected and then it turns out to be the most exciting thing you've ever experienced. When they say you fall in love they truly mean fall. Who decides they want to become crazily obsessed with another person. Who goes to sleep at night thinking I can't wait to fall madly into a roller coaster of emotions? Yes, it is true so many people long for love and with it someone to care them. The only sad part is when it spirals out of control and either of the two people end up getting hurt. It does not have to be this way at all. There are still multitudes of people who believe in chivalry. But in this modern time love has been reduced. Young women get deeply involved in a mans life persuading themselves it is real love. The kind always shown in the movie theaters the kind dreamed about since "The little Mermaid" came out and "Sleeping Beauty". The kind of love where the couple go off into the sunset happily ever after. Without any problems or any drama whatsoever. Then love advances into a deeper mindset when reading "Romeo and Juliet", where the love becomes so great that both commit suicide at the sight of each others dead bodies. It makes one wonder what modern day love looks like. Would Romeo and Juliet be the same if they had grown up in New York and hadn't been taught the traditional values chivalry? Becoming another number in the divorce rate?
Young adults have a tough time in looking for their life partner if even at all they decide to look. Is marriage still considered a sacred event at all or merely another social event founded by a good cause? In America is it possible that society has devalued marriage to the point of no return since the sexual revolution? Is it only christian now who believe in the cause?
