Our Marriage Foundation -Reflection of 10 Years Wedding Anniversary


This bible verse was the gospel reading of our wedding day.
This verse is uncommon to be chosen during the wedding mass however we chose this verse because it's so close with our life, what we have gone through before we met each other and also what we have experienced the ups and downs during our courtship days before we said yes to each other.
We, ourselves were the living testimony on how God has done great things in our life. Without Him, we were nothing and would not be able to achieve what we have now.

Therefore we decided to use this verse during our wedding mass to constantly remind us that even in marriage life when we have each other, it's still not enough. We still need to hold into the main tree, the source of our life and love so that we could love, trust and treat each other as how God loves us.




These two verses were a reading passage in our wedding mass.
We chose those verses as a guidance for us how we should build our marriage life, how we should treat each other when we lived together as husband and wife.

As a husband, he needs to love his wife and his children, gives up his life, provides for his family as what God has called him to do so.
As a wife, she needs to be the pillar of strength, prayer sanctuary for the husband so that he can be a Christ-like and serving God through the little family that they built.

Submitting to husband doesn't mean that we obey and follow our husband blindly.
It's just an attitude how we humble ourselves to obey and trust our husband to protect, provide and love us as how we do to God.
Of course to be able to obey and trust our husband, we need to constantly pray for him so he can be a Christ-like.


To build strong foundation for our marriage and family life, we hold into this beautiful verse about love.
As our marriage is like pilgrimage journey, sometimes we failed here and there to apply this unconditional love in our marriage and family life.
But again, this verse always reminds us that God's love is perfect and unconditional and we should love each other like what God does to us.

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
