The facts in the article Happily Never After do not shock me. It makes sense that people who are looking to get married want to find financial stability in their partner. If someone is uneducated and is looking for a job, I do not think that they would want to "settle down" in a marriage. It is sad that people need to find that financial stability when looking for a partner to spend the rest of their life with. When I am married I plan to have children and establish the domestic church in my household. I hope that my children will follow the actions of my husband and I. We will set a good example by going to mass and being a good dear neighbor.
While watching the first video about marriage, I did not know how to react. When I get older I hope to find a loving husband who is also my best friend, like the couple in the video. However, I believe that the couple in the video is almost too good to be true. I think they did not stress the hardships that can come with a marriage, they just glamorized the all of the good parts of marriage. From all the marriages I have encountered, none of them looked like that couple. I would like to see an interview of this "couple" 5 years from that interview once they have children. I think their views on marriage and comments would be different. They would still be in love, but I think there is a different kind of love once you have children.
