Power Couple(s)

"I want to be the Claire to my Heath Cliff...the Michelle to my Obama" I remember when I thought this very statement a couple of months ago and the rest is history. My driving force in life is to ultimately end up with a significant other who empowers me. My dream is to be able to grow with this person through love and encouragement. I want to be made better, while in the same token making them better...I want to be apart of a Power Couple. Power Couples are those couples that are the envy of them all because they actually have it all, the money, the career and Love. Some say its impossible to have it all but these notorious power couples which include Beyonce and Jay, Swizz and Alica as well as Gabrielle Union and Duane Wade prove to us that its possible to essentially have it all in the name of love.  If I'm going to spend the rest of my life with someone we have to be growing towards a goal. I know I am a career-oriented person thus I don't expect nothing less from my husband. The Obama's inspire me. They are the epitome of how I imagine marriage life to be. Two ivy league trained individuals, who both graduated from prestigious law schools, and became lawyers...one essentially became the President of the United States, the other became The First Lady of the United States and through it all if it wasn't for Barack's backbone, Michelle I shutter to think if he could of done it without her. Commencing from 1980s The Cosby's broke barriers in the perception of how black families were or had the potential to be. Claire Huxtable, the sassy, beautiful lawyer who was the mother of 5 kids and still looked like a model. Heath Cliff Huxtable,  the lovable, comedic doctor who's main goal in life was to love his wife and love his children. These are the couples that set the standards for how true love essentially should be and I don't expect nothing less. When I see Beyonce and Jay Z living their lives on yachts and vacationing all over the world, I get chills in my spine because that's my dream. Not necessarily as extravagant as them however I want to enjoy the company of my husband before rushing off to have children. I want to travel with my husband and live life to the fullest.  In order to attain this we have to set standards for ourselves and for our potential mates. One day a boy I really liked told me he wanted to be a doctor and I was blown away. Usually you hear guys saying they are working towards a rap career and thats fine but its very rare you see someone working towards such a noteworthy goal and that made me like him even more. If I am going to spend 3 years in law school I want my potential mate to at least be ambitious, know what they want in life and to be working towards attaining that goal, its only right. Power Couples inspire me to the utmost extent. Why would I settle for anything less?
