A few months ago, I read an article about an Instagram post that went viral. Jenna Kutcher (@jennakutcher) hired a wedding photographer to take some pictures of herself and her husband walking on the beach in Hawaii. Her husband, Drew, is a 31-year-old health coach, and he is also known as “Mr. 6-pack.” In the photograph, Drew is shirtless, and he leans to give his bride a kiss. Jenna, who describes herself as “curvy,” is wearing a one-piece bathing suit. According to the article, the image to go viral was a direct message she received. A person rudely said that the individual “couldn’t believe” that Jenna had “managed to land a guy as good-looking” as her husband.
How sad is it that our society has allowed our culture to develop a hierarchy that some would use to determine who should marry whom based solely on appearance? The naivete that some people use regarding relationships is staggering. Do these individuals believe that physical attractiveness is equal to love, and when that is lost so is the basis of the relationship?
Love is not something that one deserves based on appearance. More about the true meaning of Love tomorrow.
