They have been in love for 14 years and married for 8 years. At first, he drove seven hours to see her every two weeks. A few years later, they got closer; he drove four hours to see her every week. Life is not perfect; what is important is their hearts are always close. They talk hours and hours on the phone everyday not feeling the distance nor out of words. The sales agent asked them if they were in love at the first sight when they were looking to buy a house. She said yes within seconds, as if she saw the boy and the girl falling in love on the beautiful campus 14 years ago. What the sales man said next brought her back to reality. He said "if you were, you will probably buy the house that way".
Is love like shopping? Marriage might be in some sense, but love is not, especially at the moment when the hearts are attracted. Love is love, nothing else. Marriage is like a house built by love, the bricks, but a lot of other things are needed too such as caring, tolerance, and understanding. They will keep looking for the "perfect" house. They have found the destiny for their hearts 14 years ago; they are home to each other.
