What makes marriages work? Is it being together all the time? Having the same likes and dislikes? Talking to one another everyday?
I read somewhere that before you get married, you must get to know your partner extensively -- her eccentricities, her family, her life goals, her beliefs and values. But, once you've married her, you must learn to accept your new wife for who she is. You don't marry someone and expect that they will change or that you can change them to your image of a perfect wife.
They say the perfect marriage is between a deaf husband and a blind wife. What do you think, Sweetheart? I believe couples can find reasons to argue all the time. Take Mommy and Daddy for example. We grew up very differently. We have opposing views on things. There are things that Mommy likes but Daddy hates. Our personalities are poles apart. But the trick is to find reasons to stay together -- for me, it's the way Daddy shows his sweet side or the way Daddy takes care of us.
Marriage is a contract between two people and God. Do not forget that.
(truncated bilang tinamad si mommy. I'll try to be more masipag in writing to you, kids. I love you!)
This blog contains my thoughts and my ramblings, stories of our family, and random stuff I find along the way -- things I want my children to remember long after I am gone. May you learn more about Mommy as you read each post, and know that I love you all very much.
