Happily Ever After?

I realized that there was an important part about my Disney discussion that I forgot to even mention.

One complaint that is often raised against Disney is that they promote unrealistic ideals - Happily Ever After? This morning as I was cleaning my apartment I was listening to the Soundtrack from Enchanted and one of the songs talks about how all of us want to believe that happily ever after is possible. Well, I personally believe it is possible. I don't believe that some day the man of my dreams will suddenly appear in my life, we'll immediately know we are in love, get married and live happily ever after. I do believe that there is great plan of happiness in place and that "men are that they might have joy" (see 2 Nephi 2:25) Of course each of us want to maximize our chances for happiness in this life, and that includes working towards having a happy marriage and family life.

I believe that men and women have distinct, and complimentary roles in this life. I feel we spend too much time trying to be the same. Why don't we just embrace and express gratitude for our differences and work together towards Happily Ever After?
