Very touching and brought tears to my eyes…

My friend’s husband died suddenly of a heart attack last year. It’s hard to believe it happened, but my friend suffered a great deal. Her husband was retrenched and he was doing a degree then…as such the kids spent a lot of time with him in the last 2-3 years.


So, whenever I am unhappy with my hubby, I tahan as much as I can and treasure him for what he is. There are times of course when we quarrel but then after it is over, forget and move on.

But I managed to convert our wedding and ROM day video from VCR to DVD. I laid my hands on it yesterday evening.

We spent the entire evening with the kiddos watching the 1.5 hours video and it was really great. Seeing ourselves in younger and slimmer days. The oaths that we took, the things we did, the people who attended our wedding, etc... it was just great :love:

In my 15 years of marriage, I don’t think we have quarreled more than 10 times. We don’t say things to hurt each other. We say things to sort things out constructively and I would try to discuss things when we are calm. Some people say this is not good as we treat each other cordially and we are not frank with each other. But I think people say hurtful things they do not mean when when they are angry, so I restrain myself when I am angry. Don’t know whether it is healthy?

Hi carebear,
Lucky you :celebrate:
I think it's great the two of you exercise such self-restraint and good behaviour towards each other.

Carebear,

this is appreciation for each other differences - that is what make a marriage work wonder

well done :imcool: :imcool:

I think it is only possible if both parties have great respect for each other. DH is quite bad tempered. But somehow with me, he is very gentle and seldom gets angry. Even if angry, he does not say verbally, but I know from his actions and discuss with him. Before we got married, I was the one who would start arguments and DH would try and accommodate without quarreling, so over time, i may have been influenced by his way of handling things.

sometimes I feels that only when we die than we can find out if there is really people who appreciate and treasure us. that is the only time when you will miss someone.

Hi there…

I somehow feels that you n ur hubby is really doing a good thing…
Sometimes less talk and less vocal also can go a long way.
1 needs to be a good listener and the other a good talker…For my case none of us is a good listener…so most of the time, we talk at the same time…lol
Im proud of you being able to practised self restraint in ur marriage… Thumbs up for the both of u…
Should give a tip or two…
