A real definition of marriage

What I love about this story is how we see two people, particularly this young lady it seems, who are So "effected" by God in the most profound example of faith.
These two are a hansom young couple. They meet in school, fell in love, and it was clear that this young man was going to make a commitment to this beautiful young lady, before his accident.
After his accident, leaving him impaired, this lady stayed with him. She could have had any "good man" (I use that term loosely) that she wanted. She could have just taken off and said "see ya".....OR? ....or could she?
I do not think she could. I say this because clearly she didn't, but also because there is a deeper reason why she stayed and married him, and I believe that reason is certainly love, but also because of her faith. Her faith caused her to stay, it caused her to trust God in this situation, and it caused her to know that what mattered was him.
The reason this is a real definition of marriage is because it's a real definition of faith and Love. And, it is the very model of Christ love for us, as apposed to what the world offers us in its definition of marriage and love.
In this story, of these two beautiful people, we see, not a story about a good woman or a nice guy, but the glory of God played out for all to see.
I hope that younger people on this site will take the time to see this video and really let this story sink in. We so often think that marriage is about sex, and having what we want, and 50/50 (you do for me and therefore I do for you). IT IS NOT. It's 100% about the other person, and when we make it that with God in the center, we gain something indescribable; a joy and a completeness that only comes from the Love of God Himself.
