Cant quite imagine that 8 years has passed since we got married! :D
I wont say it's a fairy-tale "happily ever after" marriage. On the surface, all's fine & we seems like the everyday ordinary couple.
However, I felt that something was not quite right between us. We were not communicating in a deeper way, often or regular enough, & something seems missing even though we still love each other & are committed to the marriage.
For this, we decided to sign up for a 12 weeks course organized by the church: Married For Life (MFL). As of this week, we're 9 weeks into the course & has learnt (or "refresh") what it means to (the Power of) 2in1, Sowing & Reaping, Forgiveness, Agreement & our roles as husband & wife to name a few.
I wont go into the details of the lesson, but it does gives us lots of (practical) "homework" to work on in our marriage.
We realized the challenges even more, but confident of the result & fruits that we'll harvest when we apply those principles in our marriage & communication. I believe we're taking steps in the right direction by looking towards God for help. As, marriage after all is HIS brain-child ^^
This year, I received a beautiful flower arrangement delivered right to my door step. I was really pleased with the effort my husband made (as it's my very first, aft 8 years of marriage! *lol*) And, we went out for a nice dinner date in a place I've always always heard about but never been to: Dempsey Hill.
On a "side note": actually I wasnt surprised (by) the flowers I received, as I received a call earlier during the day... from the florist! She called to confirm my home address & the time which it'll be delivered.
Hehe... yea, I was surprised BY the florist, & not the flowers sent BY him! lol...
Oh well, anyways... Happy Anniversary dear hubby! The best is yet to come! :D
Happy Anniversary!
