Happy Anniversary, ChiLyn!

In the real world, marriage is not always about rainbows and butterflies. It's not always about a prince finding his princess and living happily ever after. However, when the two people who have decided to bind themselves together agree to work on their marriage for better or for worse, and dedicate their union to God, marriage CAN be about rainbows and butterflies. It can be perfect in so many perspectives you look at it.

Like a lot of couples, my husband and I started this relationship wherein we had to deal with a lot of positive and negative situations.. But we strive to stay with the good ones and learn from the bad. We communicate; we don't just talk, we listen. We engage ourselves with couples who we can learn from. We respect each other. We never cursed at each other, ever. We put eagerness on learning the other half's likes and dislikes. We give, and take. We don't point fingers on who's right and who's wrong. We say "Sorry". We say "I Love You". We say "I'm proud of you". We say "I appreciate you." We say "I support you."

When we got engaged, we spent more than 14 hours together in a day. And ever since we got married, we have been under each others nose for 24/7. We have become insuperable.. for 365 days today. And as expected, discussions, issues, fights, and problems have risen.. but never our voices. We have been blessed with the Holy Spirit to know what we are in this relationship and who we really are dealing with-- God. And I am grateful.

Happy 1st Year Anniversary to us, Love. You will always be the man I adore as I will always be the woman who will stand beside you, love you, support you, and care for you and our children all the days of our lives. :)
