Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

Something sweet my husband wrote on his Facebook wall yesterday =)

…

That night, as we both chatted about this and that, I shared with him my thoughts on what he wrote on Facebook.

I said:

You know what?

What you wrote got me thinking.

I enjoyed watching the tennis games earlier! But having said that, I may not be able to always accompany you when you want to do something that you love.

I want you to know though, that whenever I can, I would try to be there with you, regardless of whether I myself enjoy what it is that we’re doing.

Because.

I want you to be accompanied by me (and enjoyed my presence and our time together), and not enjoy the company of others better (worse, enjoying the company of another female).

…

Personally I believe, the enjoyment of another person’s company, other than one’s spouse, IS possible, when the spouse rarely make himself/herself available willingly in the life of the other.

And after some time, one just gets used to doing things ‘alone’ and ‘without the presence’ of the spouse.

*shiver*

I don’t wish for that to happen.

…

Now, don’t get me wrong.

We both have our own time alone and with other people too, of course.

I just feel it should never be a ‘habit’ that undermines that need to enjoy each other’s company.

So yes, this means we both are used to going out with our young kids in tow, just so that we nurture that ‘togetherness’ habit.

…

Well.

I don’t know about you, but I personally feel that as a wife, it is important to be connected as much as we can to our spouse.

To know his world and to understand what he likes, and to hopefully be a part of that too.

As a wife, it is important to be connected as much as we can to our spouseTo find things that we can enjoy together.

To go through the highs and lows of life, together.

Now.

The reality is, to always be there for our spouse may not always be possible. And it may not even be easy for many.

But I guess, if we show genuine initiatives and willingness to be involved in ‘his world’ too, … I’m sure it will do more good – than bad – to the relationship, yes? =)

What say you?
