Do "Happy Endings" really exist?

WOW. "Happy Endings" was quite an interesting story. I liked the organization of how each 'ending' was separate, but I did get a bit confused. Throughout the story I just assumed that the John and Mary in each 'ending' were the same John and Mary at the beginning, but when we broke into groups, Sarah and Lauren thought differently which really got me to thinking. It is also so confusing how peoples minds work. I remember when I was younger always wanting to be able to read peoples minds. I wanted to know what my friends really thought of me or what a boy was thinking.

I don't remember exactly how the question was stated, but we were supposed to discuss the characters without judging them. When reading each 'ending' I think of different friends, or even myself who have experienced situation like them. B. was very sad, but in reality, that's how many women are treated in hopes that the man will eventually fall in love with them. Well each 'ending' is kinda sad. I like the way they twist and turn and then end up the same. It makes me think of our journeys through life. God has this ultimate goal, but we do not always get there the easiest/shortest way. We may make a few turns here and there, but hopefully, eventually end up where He want us, and has planned for us.

I do not agree that every relationship or marriage turns out to be a 'happy ending.' I believe that we choose to make relationships work and it is up to us to have a 'happy ending.' Having God in the center of that relationship is the only way to have a fulfilling happy ending. Not saying that non-Christians cannot be happy, but they could have so much more. I also think that people all have a different view of their 'happy ending', not everyone wants to end up like how A. describes. Again it all comes down to how people all have such a wide view of what love is and how it works.
