As a believer in Jesus, we can accept that there truly is a 'happily ever after' promised to us. The Church is described as a beautiful bride, the Bride of Christ. This reference to the church as the Bride is also embedded in the Apostle Paul's household code in the letter to the church at Ephesus. It's like inserting the 'happily ever after' naivety into the very stark reality of every-day life.
