Missing my Sweety

Mu husband has been absent for 2 days now from our humble abode because of a teambuilding event at Zambales. The jealous wife in me wanted that he doesn't go and that he just enjoys his two-day off with us instead of being surrounded by officemates. Sometimes I am so selfish that I don't want to share him with his friends. But what is good about my husband is that he has a way of comforting me that the trip is just something he needs to do as part of his work.

That's just me as a wife. We have our quarrels over these things that I tend to forget that he is not just a husband and a father period (hmmm sounds like my previous post hehe). He also needs other people so that he can allow himself to mature and eventually be a better person.

Being married means knowing that despite sharing the same interests and values, you will always end up realizing your differences. Talk about men are from Mars and women are from Venus (I wonder where is my copy of that book). Willie is definitely a man who is only concerned about straight answers and straight solutions; I on the other hand delve (too much sometimes) on repercusions and consequences of decisions; and he likes to sleep all day or stay at home while I would like to discover new things outside.

But what I have learned on being married is that more than just loving, respecting and honoring one another is that each one should ACKNOWLEDGE the inevitable differences that man and woman have. This means that if you sacrifice something, you should not expect that the other person to do the same. And if you do you just end up being hurt. Expectations can bring great pressure on the relationship and may even be the root of all marital problems.

That's why for Jane and Karlo, acknowledge the innate differences you have. Love you guys!
