Marriage : before and after
Someone once said that once you’ve decided the person with whom you’ll spend the rest of your life with, basically there’s ‘no turning back’.
If we’ve made a ‘bad decision’, then we (unfortunately) will live with the consequence of our choice.
I was told too that before we get married, we’re to open our eyes real wide (read: observe the relationship, learn as much as possible about the person, and work together on ironing things out).
But after we’re married, we’re to ‘close one eye’ (read: learn to focus only on the good of our spouse and not on the bad).
It’s about continually working things out. Respecting and loving. Openly sharing our deepest thoughts, worries, concerns, pains and joy.
The thing is, it’s easier to write about it than to consistently do it everyday.
But then again, though there’ll surely be ups and downs, it’s never impossible, with God as the Lord of the household.
