The Secret of Our Marriage

This is just a reflection what we have been doing in the past 10 years when we started everything with nothing until now we were blessed with 3 beautiful children.
Hopefully it becomes an inspiration to other family.

1. The Power of Prayer



We realized that marriage is no longer between you and me only, but you, me and God therefore we always put God first in our family life.
Each of us spends private time with God, he loves to go to Morning mass while I love to pray daily rosary.
It gives us the strength to love, forgive and accept each other as Christ loves us.

2. We Love Our Partner above Our Children



We always believe that we should love our partner more than we love our children.
The best gift and example that we could give to our children is our love.
When we love each other, our children also feel the warmth of love, they love us as well as their siblings.

3. Never Argue In Front of The Kids



I guess this is also related with our characters. We are more quiet type so when we had disagreement or arguments, instead of rising our voice to each other, we prefer to keep it first or if it needs to be fix, we write a letter to each other.
Our kids very seldom see us argue or fight to each other.
We also prefer to settle it as soon as possible instead of dragging it out for period of time.

4. Couple Date

Once our youngest boy has no longer breastfed, we make a point to spend sometimes together either dinner or movie date monthly.
We are very fortunate that I have my cousin and sister here to babysit the children and the children are comfortable with whoever the babysitter is.
It really makes different to have couple time without the kids. We focus more on each other like we are in the courtship day and our love is renewed and sparkled again.
Sometimes we talk about the past, our courtship day, sometimes we talk about our kids, our future plans etc.

5. Make It Memory
I love to make a memory book or blog, whenever we have a date or travel or other precious moments, I love to take picture of those events and make it a photobook or write it in the blog.
It's a nice memory that we could look back if we are feeling down and we could pass it as a treasure to our children when they are grown up and forming their own family.

6. Make Love Like Nobody Business



It's undeniable that we have an active sexual life. We believe that sexual intercourse is the highest form of marriage.
It's renewing our marriage covenant.
When we have this intimacy, we feel love towards each other.
When  the time we have disagreement, there's no mood for doing this until we reconcile, the feeling and the mood are back and we feel that we love each other more deeply.

7. A little Things Count



In the morning we always greet each other, Good Morning Wife, Good Morning Husband.
And before  he is out for works, he will say I love you and kiss goodbye.
If he needs to travel overseas, we never forget to say I love you to each other.
I guess this little things make difference in our love life too.

Above all, we are grateful for the past 10 years that we are able to journey this together and our love is still strong and sparkling.
And we hope that it still the same for the rest of our life

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. 

What to do when you don't know what to do

I’ve been absent from writing the blog for quite a while, as I felt there wasn’t any story worth sharing. But today, I want to share something that happened in August. For some time, I had been waiting and praying, asking God to show me whether I should persevere with this winter rental business. I often felt that all my efforts were in vain, and I had reached the end of my wits, unsure of what else to do. In my prayer, I asked God specifically for a sign: if there was even just one try-on appointment in August, it would mean that He still blesses this business and that it remains aligned with His plan. That very afternoon, I suddenly received a WhatsApp message from a man who wanted to arrange a try-on session for the next day. I replied quickly, asking for details — and to my surprise, he said 10 adults were traveling together! I immediately told my husband, though I also explained that we didn’t have enough stock for such a large group. My husband encouraged me to call and explain t...
