Society has grown to be driven by reality television. Everywhere you look, there are posters, billboards, commercials, magazine ads, you name it, with reality TV characters plastered all over. People will even dramatize and exaggerate their lives to parallel the lives of those on reality TV.
"The Bachelor" is one show that I find particularly interesting. Since 2002, men and women have gone on the show to find true love. What I find peculiar is the dynamic of the show. True love is the objective and the goal. Contestants go in expecting happily ever after once they come out on the other side. However, this rarely happens. The exception is Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici. This power couple is without a doubt the best couple to come out of "The Bachelor." Here’s why:
1. They are the only couple who actually got married post-finale.
Out of 17 seasons, Sean is the only Bachelor to marry the girl he picked in the finale. The rarity of this occurrence makes sense; considering the very short amount of time they spend with one person over several weeks, it’s no wonder that no one has lasted before.
2. Hollywood hasn’t changed them.
In fact, being in the public eye for the last few years has propelled their careers in the most positive way. Sean competed on "Dancing with the Stars" following the finale of "The Bachelor" and has written a book called “For the Right Reasons” that took America by storm. Catherine has been staying busy as well. She currently works as a graphic designer for Amazon and is a successful vegan food blogger. This couple has taken their fame procured from their time on "The Bachelor" and has used it for good, not evil.
3. They are not afraid to share their religious journey.
Speaking of using fame for good, Sean and Catherine have not been shy when asked about how they waited to have sex until marriage. Sean was known as the “Virgin Bachelor” after revealing this personal fact about him and his fiance, but he didn’t let it break him down. Since the wedding, Sean has made an effort to tell the world his story through “I Am Second” and to reach out to those in the same shoes. He and Catherine also attend a church in Dallas, where Catherine sings on stage every Sunday.
Here are some bonus reasons why Sean and Catherine are just about the coolest people ever.
4. Sean live tweets during "The Bachelor." Need I say more?
5. Their dogs are basically their children.
6. They competed on "Celebrity Family Feud."
This is what every couple should strive for in their relationship. Sean and Catherine are a great example of an honest, down to earth, quirky couple with relationship centered around Christ. If you are looking for someone to model your relationship after, look no further. Sean and Catherine Lowe are arguably some of this generation’s greatest role models.
