And they lived happily ever after...

Is there really such a thing as happily ever after? In many of our common fairytales it always ends with two people in love living happily ever after. I think this is misleading because, in truth, no one lives happily ever after, there are always trials and conflict in peoples every day lives. The annoyance of screaming children and arguments that dont always settle is the hard life of happily ever after. Marriage is no picnic, there is work to be done to provide and care for the house or/and the children. This, to some, is sometimes not a happy and enjoyable time. So in truth there can be times of happiness, but it doesn't end just there; there are many heartaches and hardships in the life of happily ever after. We may say that they do live happily ever after, but it is not the end it is only the beginning of what ever life may take us.
