We tend to always hear stories about people who claim to have found love, but this story took us by a storm. Not too long ago, an American Idol contestant named Chris Medina shared a beautiful story of his love with his fiancé.
Chris Medina worked at a coffee shop in Chicago and was figuring out how he would care for his fiancé after she was in a near tragic car accident. She suffered major brain damage and woke up a month later and asked Medina to sing. He then received the opportunity to be in American Idol. Even though he's no longer competing, Medina was surprised with a $70,000 sponsor to help his situation with his fiancé, Juliana. Now, that's not something we see every day.
He sang a song, "What are Words" and is getting millions of views and has touched many hearts across America. He asks, "What kind of guy would I be if I was to walk out when she needed me the most?" This was one of the reasons why the song "What are Words," created such a huge impact in the media.
When we look at his situation and look at marriage, don't we all wish we have someone like that in our lives if we don't already? Could it be that not everyone is as faithful, as loving, and as courageous as Medina that his story becomes something we all idolize and take to the heart? Is society's view on love in any way similar to this?
If everyone's relationships were similar to Medina's, this probably wouldn't have as big of an impact but since this became viral, is this something we need to look for in love, in a relationship, or most importantly, in marriage?
Here is a video that gives us a little more insight on the love Medina and his fiancé share:
