The power of love* - Huey Lewis and the News

Here's one of the best scenes from Desperate Housewives 4:-



Lynette : Earlier, my husband, in an attempt to help you with your relationship, mistakenly gave you some advice, which he would now like to take back. Tom?

Tom : Actually, I stand by everything I said. My mistake was in not going far enough.

Lynette : What?

Tom : If you're willing to break up over an ice sculpture, you guys should absolutely not get married.

Lynette : Where the hell are you going with this?

Tom : Because who gets to choose the ice sculpture, who should take out the trash, who has to stay home and make the mini pizzas--that's the little stuff. What are you gonna do when the big stuff comes along?

Lynette : Could you give us a second?

Tom : No. What are you gonna do when a tornado hits your house, or you have problems with your kids, or one of you gets cancer? At some point, the crap is going to hit the fan, and that is why now, before you make the commitment, you have to ask yourself, is that person in bed next to you worth the trouble? Do you love him...or her so much that no disease, no disaster could possibly pull you apart?

Lynette : Answer him.

Lee : Sure.

Bob : Of course I do.

It really struck me when i watched that scene. Too often we fight over small and trivial matters. But when the big problems arise, are we ready to handle it? Is our love that strong? For if we truly love someone - our partner, our family, our parents, our frens - we will be there for them no matter what, won't we?
