Review
In the previous season, after years of hiding his feelings for Lois, Clark was finally able to reveal his true identity and the two
began to build a relationship. In this season, they conquer all odds and get married. But their marriage doesn’t have a storybook ending. It’s not happily ever after but real life with all of its ups and downs (only with a few super-villains and surreal moments mixed in).
Sometimes, watching the mushiness of Lois & Clark can be a bit sickening. It’s hard to see a couple go from cat and mouse to openly
loving one another. But that’s when you have to ask, “Why is that we like the tension more than we like the bonding and closeness? Why
do we prefer to see them struggling to find a way to love each other instead of relishing in their ability to finally show true love
and affection for one another? And why do we turn our backs on characters that seem to finally have things going their way?”
Personally, I’ve enjoyed every season of Lois & Clark and was disappointed when the writers didn’t feel their relationship valued
better writing. By that I mean the couple jumped into lovey-dovey too soon. The couple had been playing cat and mouse for so long that
finally being able to show their true feelings, to openly say “I love you” and to call each other pet names, should have happened
gradually, not all at once. Yet despite this flaw, season four still holds its charm. Superman still battles evil, Lois still sticks
her neck out for great stories, and the couple still has a little tension to work out.
Defining Moment
At first, I wondered if I could even come up with a defining moment for this season of
Lois & Clark, then as I pondered what lesson we
could learn I realized that the lesson was simple: relationships are hard. Marriage is even harder and roadblocks will always abound,
but true love never gives up. A good marriage isn’t just about give and take, it’s about forgiveness, lifting each other up when we’re
down, remembering to do special things for the ones you love, and keeping the romance alive by adding a little spice every now and then.
Your Task
This week take the time to look through old photographs of your pre-marital life. What were you and your spouse like before you got
married? What do you see in those pictures? How did he (or she) make you happy back then? What made those times so romantic? What were
the good qualities in your spouse?
While you’re feeling good about those memories take the time to write down those memories and good qualities on a piece of paper. Then
once a day, over the course of the next few weeks, take one of those memories and write a short 2 to 5 sentence note for your spouse.
Hide that note in his (or her) lunch, briefcase, dashboard, dresser drawer, tool chest, hobby area, or wherever else he (or she) might
“happen” upon it. Continue to send secret reminders until you no longer have anything left on your note paper.
Once you’ve used up all your notes, plan a romantic evening out—with no kids, no business talk, and no problem-solving. Then relish in
the fact that you’ve married the perfect person—for you!
