It's easy to say "love conquers all" as a general statement, but some people might find it harder than they expect to stick to that motto when their faith experiences the right kind of test.
It's easy to say "love conquers all" as a general statement, but some people might find it harder than they expect to stick to that motto when their faith experiences the right kind of test.
If somebody said it right after they just revealed their partner is abusive, that's likely to only attract concern from anyone in earshot.
However, as far as one couple has experienced, some people seem unwilling to give love a chance the second they face an unusual relationship.
Lou is an erotic model and Egon acts in adult films, so it's not a surprise that they first laid eyes on each other at what Lou described as a "porn shoot."
As she told The Mirror, "One of my friends set us up at a party, because she knew how I felt about him. We can laugh a lot and talk about everything, that's why we are attracted to each other."
As she put it, "I love his humor, his charisma and the way he is always there for me when I need him, that we can talk about everything."
For her part, Lou said she had never condemned that aspect of other relationships and was confident they'd work it out fine.
She told The Mirror, "He was a bit skeptical at first, but he quickly realized that the other things are more important and that these other things we have in common means we fit together perfectly."
As Lou said, "My family took the news of our relationship easy. Of course, they first asked a lot of questions, but when I explained everything, they understood and accepted it. His family as well."
Lou said they often get odd looks and whispers from younger people when they're outside together, but those on social media are more explicit, calling their relationship "perverted" and "disgusting."
To that, she said, "I am sad that many doubt our love only because of the age difference."
"If they were to live with us for a week as a silent observer, they would realize how much we really love each other."
Although they've never really discussed getting married, Lou said she could imagine it someday. Regardless, it seems their love is here to stay.
As Lou said, "Relationships don't depend on things like age, gender and appearance, but how happy you are with each other and how to deal with each other and nobody can judge from the outside."
If they're happy and love each other, shouldn't we just wish them the best of luck?
And I think that's a message we can all get behind.
