We couldn’t see each other physically – no pick-up and drop-offs, no dates, none of these. I was in Dubai, she was in Manila. Everything happened online. No Facebook, WhatsApp, or Zoom yet; Mobile internet wasn’t a thing then. Those were the glory days of Friendster and Yahoo Messenger.
It was a ‘Love on Lockdown’ on a long distance.
A dozen years (and kilos) later, through highs and lows, here we are together stronger than ever. A marriage that’s full of S.W.A.G. – Saved With Amazing Grace.
Happy 12th anniversary babe! In case you wonder how we seem to grow year after year, let me share you twelve reasons why…
How to grow your marriage through the years?
T – TOGETHER MATTERS
To be in the company of each other is a privilege, not a burden. We enjoy every opportunity we could be together.
W – WACKINESS
Humor is an important part of our everyday lives. Laughter is not just the best medicine, laughter is a vaccine.
E – LEVATE
We strive to become a better version of ourselves a a husband and a wife, day in and day out.
L – LOVE LANGUAGE
We respond to each others love language religiously.
V – VISION
This relationship is motivated by dreams and aspirations. Having a vision allows us to filter out unnecessary things and activities that are not aligned with the vision.
E – EDIFY
We encourage one another and build each other up. We commit to edify and become accountable to each other.
There you go, TWELVE reasons. 🙂
