Davin Indah Love story

This is very interesting aspect in marriage. How love languages could have an impact in marriage life. It could make the marriage become better or worse. Differences in love languages between husband and wife can become a problem or a strengthening instrument. There are five love languages, words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, gifts and act of service. My primary love languages are physical touch and gifts. On the other hand, my husband's primary love languages are quality time and words of affirmation. We have completely different love languages and because of this, we have different ways to express our love towards each other. Partners have tendency to express his or her love using his or her love languages instead of his or her partners need. As our case, I subconsciously express my love using mine since I also want to be loved in return with these love languages. I love to openly hug or kiss him in public places or even in front of our kids.

We had a family dinner at Aston Restaurant.

We flew with Virgin Australia on Thursday midnight and arrived at Sydney on Friday morning. Upon arrival, we went to Central Station meeting our friend there to pass our luggage to be put in his office before exploring the city. We visited Tourist Landmarks like Sydney Opera House, The Rocks, Harbour Bridge, Darling Harbour, QVB building and Paddy's Market. In the evening, we stayed over at our friend house at Parramata area. On Saturday, we spent our time catching up over meals and coffee with our friends and relative who were already staying here. On Sunday, we went to church at St Mary's Cathedral and had lunch at Manly beach with our dear friends and their children and met up with our old friends too in the evening and had dinner together at Korean Restaurant. It was a pleasant trip and nice catch up with our friends except  that I was not feeling well and had very bad sore throat.

As June was a school holiday, we thought that it would be great idea to bring our children out the county for mind refreshing. After brainstorming, we decided to go to Bali this time round. My parents flew from Semarang to Bali and we  planned to have a holiday together there. Last minutes plan, we decided to spend couple quality time over the weekend at Sydney. Therefore we left our children at my parents' care. Still, they had enjoyed their holiday there.

On the following months, we had a monthly date either dinner or watch movie. Every time we had a date, it made our love stronger and we fall in love with each other again.

As our commitment to have quality time once a month, on February we celebrated Valentine's day just the two of us. We left our children at my cousin's care. He gave me a surprise gift and booked dinner at Aura's Restaurant, it's kinda fine dining that we had 11 years ago during our courtship day. We enjoyed each other companion that night very much.

2 years ago, he has attended a retreat Pria Sejati Katolik (Catholic True Man) and since then he has changed to be a better one. He's more responsible and hands on with household chores and the best part is he leads our family's faith closer to God. He encouraged me to go for Wanita Diberkati Katolik (Godly Women Retreat) since last year but I couldn't attend since I had the youngest one who was still breastfed at that time, therefore after he was no longer breastfed and there was an opportunity, I took a courage to leave all kids behind under his and my mother's care for 5 days 4 nights. It was a fruitful retreat, it changed my paradigm about my call as a wife and mother. How I should submit to husband and how I should give a life to this family and support my husband. Hopefully our family is getting stronger in faith and become a blessing to other people surrounding us.

One of our New Year Resolutions was Couple quality time once a month. As we ushered New Year with dating. We wrote our New Year Resolutions and our goal this year. We spent quality time together having lunch at Saveur and watched movie at The Cathay.

On year 2016, I had a very busy and hectic year. Taking care of three children all by myself and nurturing new business were not easy. In the end of the year, I was so exhausted mentally and physically. For the past 3 years, we didn't have any couple trip as we had busy with our little children, therefore we decided to have couple staycation at Amara Resort just two of us. We enjoyed it to the max like young couple. We had uninterrupted dinner, watched midnight movie, chilled out by the beach and enjoyed our room luxuriously. It was the best moment for year 2016. Spending quality time with couple was really important and essential element for happy and healthy marriage life.
