The First Couple
Recently NEWSWEEK published an essay by Andrew Romano entitled, “Our Model Marriage“. In it he wrote, “The Obamas have the kind of relationship millenials aspire to.“
Regardless of your personal political affiliation, isn’t it nice to be able to read an article about our President (or any politician for that matter), which isn’t revealing an abnormal sexual preference, obscene behaviour, or extramarital affair? President and Michelle Obama continue to publically reflect the good and solid aspects of marriage.
The President and First Lady appear genuinely in love and not afraid to express that love and devotion before our nation, nor the multitude of cameras and reporters that constantly follow their lives.
Their example comes at a time when other news reports splash the bizarre details of Jon and Kate Gosselin’s very public divorce. Similar articles during the past year have revealed the shameful actions of Senator Larry Craig from Idaho in a public restroom; and former presidential candidate John Edwards’ affair and “love child”.
Thank you, President & Mrs. Obama, for shining a beacon of hope on the beauty and covenant of marriage. May your example encourage this generation of ‘millenials’ (and all of us) to wait for their true life-time spouse who can “grow old with them (me) for the best is yet to be.”
Blessings!
