Young and in Love

Making young love last in a world against us.

Young and in Love
Rochelle Marie Photography

They're so young and in love...

Ever heard this quote? Sadly, in today's society it actually has a negative connotation. When you hear someone mention how a couple is so young and in love that basically means the couple is naive and won't last through the hard times. So is this true? And if so how can we prevent it? How can we make sure our young love will be enough to last a lifetime? I have found that there are three factors that can make the world of difference in any relationship, young or old:

1. Marry your best friend. Sounds easy enough right? Marrying your best friend means that the person you spend your life with will come before all others. Friends, family, that crazy mother in law who just won't let go of her baby boy... You and your partner should know how to say no to others and keep each other the top priority when it comes to staying happy together.

2. Make dates...and keep them! A lot of times we as young people have a tendency to get caught up in everything going on around us. I can honestly say that I have cancelled my fair share of date nights because of something else coming up. Planning a night for just you and your spouse to spend together keeps you both feeling stronger in your relationship.

3. Pray together. This is probably the most important step that I can emphasize. Marry someone who loves the Lord and will seek His guidance in all life's choices. Praying together has a way of bringing a couple closer together and building a stronger relationship. When all else fails, say a little prayer together and chances are things will seem a little better.

So in a world where the odds are stacked against young love, why not defy the odds and find a love that is going to last a lifetime?

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
