I have just gotten done watching "Letters to Juliet" and my heart sighed. Yes, the movie was a chick flick. Yes, the movie was full of sentimentalism that you think may ONLY be seen in movies. However, I would like to say that I have seen the "sigh creating love" in real life. I have seen this type of love in the older couples whom have experienced hell and back. Yet, these couples with God's grace and guidance have endured. The Lord has been given glory by the work He did in their lives. I also see this love in every married couple who day in and day out make the choice to love their spouse above their own selfish desires. As a women we are encouraged to not watch these "chick flick" movies because they are not "real" and create unrealistic expectations. I may never experience love and be married to someone for fifty years. But, that will not change the fact that the soul stirring love has been given as a gift from the Lord. Just like He has given us a rose to pause and see his beauty. He has given us this type of Love to remind us of the love He has for us. So, go find your sweetheart curl up on the couch and pop in your favorite "chick flick" and be thankful for the gift he has given you. If you are in my position that you do not have a sweetheart call your best friend or grab your sweet treat then curl up on the couch and rejoice for He has also given you the great gift of His love for you.
