The course of true
love never did run smooth ~ William Shakespeare
This
statement by William Shakespeare is so true. In songs, especially country
western, in theater, in movies, on T.V. and in books, love never runs smoothly.
And would we want it to?

I think not.
If it ran smoothly, boy would meet girl, and it would be a straight shot to boy
and girl live happily ever after. There would be no journey, nothing to root
for, we’d probably turn off the TV, walk out of the theater (because it would
be a really short play), or throw the book at the wall.
Why would we
want to read, listen or watch something like that? We wouldn’t. The more
conflict and obstacles our hero and heroine have to overcome the sweeter the
reward of their happily ever after for the audience.
Shakespeare
in his wisdom new this inherently and used it wisely in his works.
Now if you’re
talking REAL life, we probably do want our relationships to run smoothly. But
they don’t always, and we learn from each experience, disagreement or argument.
I think there would be something WRONG with a relationship where there was no
conflict at all. The give and take in a relationship is how we learn to
compromise, and gains respect toward our partners.

Can you
think of a movie, TV show or book where the romance was obstacle free?
I love “Sleepless
in Seattle”, “Fifty 1st dates”, “When Harry Met Sally”, and “Enough
Said” just to name a few. All these movies had conflict or obstacles to overcome.
What is your
favorite love story: movie or book?
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!
