Woah! Married!

Yes, I'm very much married!  In another 44 days, it'll be our 1st wedding anniversary!  Excited!

I don't know why I'm writing about this after not writing this blog for so long.  Probably that's the most happening thing that happened to me after so long.  :)

Many people asked about the difference before and after marriage, and even so, why marry?  But I do feel some sort of difference and realise the importance.

  • We grew to understand each other more.  
    • Habits (e.g. sleeping, eating, entertainment, bathing, personal hygiene, etc)
    • Thoughts and ideas (e.g. what fills our tank, monetary, work, church, serving, etc) 
  • We quarrel less. 
    • Probably because of the above, we know what each other is thinking about. And even during arguments, we know what to do to appease each other. 
  • We spend more time at home (and save more ka-ching too).
    • We much prefer staying home and doing things together (watch dramas, build Gundam, laze around in bed, talk to each other, etc) than going outside. 
  • We trust each other more. 
    • We spend lesser time communicating with each other during the day time because we know we're gonna come back to each other in the evening.  So, we don't have to report where to go or what we do.  Or even when we hang out with opposite gender, there is no jealousy issue at all.  Amazing! 
  • We can go home and go overseas together! 
    • I like that the best!  Now, we don't have to walk circles near my house purposefully to spend more time together.  And we can explore places together without being separated.  :)  Blissfulness! 
What's so important about marriage?
There's this connection formed between us which is unexplainable.  It's as if I can feel him even when he is far away.  Maybe it's something divine and out of this world.  I feel very safe and I know where I belong, to this home and family that we are going to build together.  This is a marriage, a life long marriage.  Not just a wedding ceremony.  Many couples can cohabitate, and society now does not hold much benefit of marriage.  But I think emotionally, it really is DIFFERENT.
