It is such a nice feeling that the young man and woman will exchange wedding vows and then be swept away in a fairytale cloud of everlasting wedding bliss. The reality is that on their way back from the honeymoon the real world starts to rear its ugly face. This is really the time when this wonderful couple starts to draw from their years of solid upbringing. All the lessons that were modeled by their parents will come back either gradually or like a flood that knows no boundary.
The single unity wedding candle that the couple lit during the ceremony was lit from two individual candles, representing the two families from which the couple came. Two families with maybe different cultural values and who sometimes come from different countries. Yet, their children saw it fit to fall in love and marry each other regardless of the challenges that initially faced them. This, very often is the glue that helps to keep some couples together. This is proof that families all over the world love and value their offsprings and care enough to model their values to them sometimes consciously or unconscientiously. This is solid proof that the family unit is resilient and can bounce back after adversity.
