God's purpose in Marriage





Basically there are FIVE "P" -  God's purposes in Marriage

1. Pro-life 
This is the basic purpose why God call a man and a woman in Marriage union. 
As stated in Gen 1 : 28 " Have many children so that your descendants will live all over the earth and bring it under their control. "

2. Pleasure in Relationship
Marriage union is between one man and one woman and both of them should enjoy the joy in the marriage.
Marriage life is not happily ever after story and there are always challenges in every stage of life but the question is how we could find the joy in marriage life despite all the challenges we face.

3. Passion of Love
We are created to love each other because God is love. Love is the foundation of marriage life, love is not only about feeling. It's also about a choice and a commitment to endure and persevere in tribulation times.
As stated in 1 Cor 13 : 4 - 8
"Love is patient and kind, it's not jealous or conceited or proud, Love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable ; love does not keep a record of wrongs ; love is not happy with evil but is happy with truth. Love never gives up and its faith, hope and patience never fail. Love is eternal"

4. Pledge of Commitment
When we exchanged our wedding vow in front of altar and witnesses, we have committed to be with one another until death do us apart.
That's not just a promise but a covenant that we made with God.
It has a powerful obligation. Marriage is a serious matter. It's not just a children play. We need to commit to be true and stay side by side in good and bad times.

5. Power for Mission
Last but not least, we are called to be a living testimony about Love.
Marriage is not just about husband and wife and children. God uses us to be His instrument to evangelise others and let others see and understand about what Love is.

Birthday Trip to Vietnam - Hanoi (Cafe hopping)

We spent our  last day in Hanoi  doing what we love most— café hopping ! The day started with a local breakfast of  Banh Cuon , a soft steamed rice roll filled with minced pork and mushrooms, quite similar to  chee cheong fun  but with its own Vietnamese twist. Light yet flavorful—perfect to kick off the morning. Next, we visited  Café Giang , the birthplace of the famous  egg coffee . Rich, creamy, and unlike any coffee we've had before—it’s a must-try when in Hanoi. Our last café stop was  The Note Coffee , a cozy and cheerful little spot decorated from floor to ceiling with colorful  sticky notes  left by visitors from all over the world. Their  iced coconut coffee  was refreshing and delicious—definitely a highlight. Since our hotel was located near  Train Street , we couldn’t resist visiting it multiple times— three to be exact!  We even had dinner there one evening, enjoying the thrill of the train zooming by ju...

As for me and my house will serve you Lord

Finally, I’ve joined the boys in serving at the Eucharist. It’s not my time, but His time. Two of the communion ministers were unable to serve on Sunday morning and requested to move to the Saturday sunset Mass. This left the group leader looking for replacements — and he thought of me, knowing that my hubby has been serving at Mass for 10 years. I said “yes” to the invitation, and so began my journey: the commissioning Mass on 3rd August, a Day of Recollection on 9th August, and my very first duty on 10th August. It is such a privilege to offer Jesus, in the Body of Christ, to His sheep. As I looked into the eyes of each parishioner receiving the Body of Christ, I saw so many different expressions. My prayer is that this gift of the Body of Christ will strengthen them in their journey, whatever season of life they are in.
