The love story of my parents has a large impact on my perception of relationships. My parents did not meet on a blind date, they were not childhood best friends, or high school sweethearts. My parents found love when they weren't expecting it. My parents' love story is one of true love of devotion. Like every couple, my parents have their fights, but they always seem to come out of those fights stronger than before. My parents have shown me that love is not perfect, but it is most definitely worth it.
My parents' love story is real. That's why I think it is better than every love story I see on tv. My parents did not fall in love after the first date, like the characters in Endless Love. My parents built their relationship on a foundation of trust and friendship and care. My parents also didn't marry each other just for the sake of getting married like Kim Kardashian or the contestants on The Bachelor. The song that I chose to describe my parents' love story is "More Today Than Yesterday" by Pat Upton. My favorite line, "I love you more today than yesterday, but only half as much as tomorrow." This song talks about a love that grows stronger everyday, and I believe that parents' love is similar to that. The only a couple can stay in a happy marriage for 26 years like my parents is if they keep finding a new joy in falling back in love with their spouse everyday.
