Fairytale?

Think of the classic fairy tales you know, most of them include a princess, right? they're usually stuck in some type of awful situation... a tower, an eternal sleep, a slaveish existence, a poverty stricken family, or just a bad situation that's unliked... Now you can't forget, there's got to be a prince, what would we be without him?... a mess, that's what. The guy who is in few exceptions all but perfect, who always rescues the damsel from her situation, takes her to a palace, kingdom, or castle, marries her and they live happily ever after... right?  now let's see, what else is usually in the story?... ah yes, the "bad guy"... a witch, or wicked step mother, or a sorcerer, or something of the like... I'm not even going to talk about all of the moral crisises or messed up examples put forth in those stories, not in this blog... not really. I had those stories on my shelf as a little girl... leading me to have all of these expectations in guys, and dreams about my own fairytale... which to an extent is ok... but not to the extreme they're pushing for. And i know guys, and men who want to be the perfect prince charming for someone, but the princess doesn't want them, or they don't measure up to a damsels unfair expectations, or there's no princess at all. I do know people who claim to have a fairytale going on... but is that real?... no. Sorry to be a killjoy, but love isn't all roses, kisses, sex, and joyfulness... not by a long shot. Love isn't always a bubbly feeling either... ask any honest married person, and they'll tell you that it's a choice. A straight up choice that they have to choose to love their husband/wife every single day, it would have ended long ago if they went strictly on feelings. I'm not saying that marriage is bad either... I'm a BIG fan of it actually, but it is hard. I don't claim to be married or even close to it. but i've seen my fair share of messed up relationships in the people i'm close to. I do believe that people can find "the right person" get married and have a good/great marriage, but it still takes a whole lot of work, and there's a whole lot of "not so happily ever after" things involved. Will i find a "prince charming"?... i don't know, i sure hope so, but i know for a fact he's not going to walk up kiss me, knock me head over heals for him, and be perfect. nopers. I know too that there's always the possibility that i might never find him, mine might not exist. I would really be annoyed (to say the least)  if that ends up being the case, but i have to at least consider it. i would say that with so many false images planted in our minds for most of our lives, there's alot of what makes divorce so common, and relationships often so petty. The only good example to strive after is this:

As a young man marries a young woman, so will your Builder marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you.  - Isaiah 62:5

He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.               - Psalm 18:17

 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son                   - Matthew 22:2

‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”  - Revelation 21:4

...into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. - Matthew 25:41b

Got it??? We're in a world of pain and despair (tower, dungeon, slavery). We're offered redemption from all of our troubles (even though we still have to face some of them for a while). If we accept it, we get to be the "bride" of christ, Go to a perfect kingdom prepared for us, and live happily ever after... oh and Satan burns in hell... if that's not a perfect fairytale i don't know what is. That ^ (Jesus) Is the perfect example for marriage. The bible even says:

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her              - Ephesians 5:25

So guess what?  i'll get a "fairy tale" even if i don't get a "prince charming" on earth... that's something to look forward to!
