 Proverbs 18:22 says "The man who finds a wife finds a treasure and he receives favor from the Lord"      When two people get married, they take on many new roles. They become husband and wife. They become lovers. Eventually they may become mother and father, and even grandmother and grandfather. They essentially become partners in life, even in business. Yet, as the years go by, it is easy for that couple to lose sight of the one thing that brought them together in the first place: friendship.     This verse reminds us that marriage is not just some simple agreement between two people. It is a unique blessing from God Himself. While God has given some people the ability to be happily single, He has given others the gift of lifelong companion for that reason, we should never take the friendship of our husband or our wife for granted.         When you trace marriage back to its roots, you see that God brought Adam and Eve together because...

You wouldn’t marry a complete stranger, would you? Well – surprise! – if you’re married, that’s exactly what you’ve done. On our wedding day, we all innocently believe the same myth: that we know and understand the person we’re marrying. But every newlywed eventually discovers that getting to know the depths of someone’s heart takes years. That’s the nature of relationship, especially one as intimate as marriage. So in that sense, we all marry a stranger. We’re in love with what little we know about our spouse, but we don’t know them. Not really. Maybe that’s why Stanley Hauerwas defines a successful marriage as “learning how to love and care for the stranger to whom you find yourself married.” What does he mean? Simply this: In countless ways, the person we commit to on our wedding day will not be the same person five, ten, or twenty years from now. In fact, neither will we. Marriage changes us. So does raising children, careers, the aging process, and other significant events ...

November 27, 2016 google map On my way to meet my husband at Lucky Chinatown mall so we’ll be together going to our Young Couples’ Seminar at GCM located at Stateland building. Given the map on the side was my trail walking towards the place. I was complaining as I felt so exhausted and my feet were tired. It was the best way to reach my destination rather than to take a tricycle. Upon meeting my husband, I rested under the air-conditioner located at the exit door of the mall. And so we’re about to go to Stateland . And my husband was ready to walk. I was complaining and nagging about my exhaustion – that I haven’t regained my strength yet. But I yielded and walked. To cut my story short, as we got back home. I saw my husband’s pair of shoes. It was almost broken. The inner part of his shoes was torn and I can’t imagine how my husband managed to walk using his 3 year old shoes. I felt ashamed. Not because my husband’s shoes was almost near of saying good bye, but because ...
