Birthdays & Anniversaries
We had the privilege of having our LiFE Group and my aunts and parents celebrate my birthday and our wedding anniversary with us on Saturday and Sunday respectively. With 3 kids to cope with, we had to opt for a simple celebration at home. It was my 33rd birthday and our 6th anniversary.
Late Sunday night after all the guests were gone, SL and I contemplated on our 6 years together and agreed that our relationship has gone from good to better in all aspects. It’s contrary to the general idea that after marriage, everything is downhill. Having said that, it is also not without hard work and determination to make this relationship work for the better, especially in this time and age where marriage is taken too lightly and divorce is getting more rampant.
My relationship with SL is more than just husband and wife. We consider each other best friends. How can we not be if we were to last a lifetime? If asked whether my relationship with SL or with the kids is more important, it’ll anytime be my relationship with SL. I believe we’ll raise healthier kids if our relationship is at its best rather than great relationships with kids and lousy with our spouses.
SL often felt bad for not able to get gifts for me during special events after she turned homemaker. I told her that that’s not what I’m looking for and that I love her more than ever. She has given me the greatest gift of all time by staying home with the kids to make sure that they get the best of attention. I’ve been called “domesticated” and “spoiling the market for guys” for taking care of household chores. Well, I don’t feel any less of a man by doing that. In fact, it’s my way of loving my wife everyday in a practical way and I’m proud of it.
