I don knack one year for dis institute called marriage. It's been quite a journey, i tell you. One that saw us experiencing lots of fun, laughter, kisses, hugs, caresses, love-making, tender feelings, quarrels, hurt feelings, frowning (him), raised voice (me - am still working on this bad habit i picked up from home), tears (definitely me), misunderstanding, compromise, doubts, fears, in fact every emotion you could possibly think of. But, in the end i'd say there's been great fulfillment in all.
Our love is maturing. We are learning to be less selfish, gaining more understanding of what partnership is really all about. We've renewed our commitment to each other, planned our future, dreamed of our kids etc. Bottom-line, we are learning what it entails to be a 'we'.
I'm very happy for this opportunity i got to be a wife, with all the accompanying joys, responsibilities and difficulties. I pray that God helps me to do better in the following years - & especially He should help MM, cos sometimes i get the impression that it is harder to be a good husband than a good wife. There are so much he's burdened with, many expectations i have of him both voiced and hidden. And i guess am harder on him not to fall short on them cos i had such nightmares about marrying a man like my dad, so he is constantly being measured against my phobias. But, he hasn't failed me - not once! He is a terrific man. Lord, please keep him this way (that will not be a walk in the park, i know). Amen.
