Happy Endings

I fail to see the beauty of a failed romance. To me, if the people don't end up together, it's not beautiful or romantic.  It's kind of sad and pathetic.  Either they didn't know themselves well enough or the other person well enough, or basically it was some convoluted tale of human choice gone awry and emotions getting the best of everything, and to me that's the antithesis of the good.  A good love story is when people overcome challenges to grow in love and virtue and they end up committed in the sacrament of matrimony, striving to love each other and love God more every day.
