Dear Earthlings (and disguised Spacelings),
Often that I came across some text article or situations where husbands proudly exhibit the dominant side of them to families in public. Once I was in Tesco with The Hubster and overheard (not eavesdropping) a husband bawled out his wife for grabbing unnecessary thing although the wife was only taking a bar of chocolate from a confectionery shelf.
He was so loud that everyone was looking and I could see the wife's face turned red. Surprisingly she was not arguing back but shied away after returning the chocolate bar to the shelf. There I stood still with chocolate in both hands; started to wonder if I too did take the unnecessary things off list. The Hubster then popped out of no where and upon seeing the bars that I was holding, he grinned.
"Do you want only these? Are they enough?" He asked but curiously.
I let out a longgg sigh of relieve. That's my husband, I thought.
I am amazed for how these women could keep their sanity in unhappy marriages; where husbands showing off the dominant personality all the times and wives suffering in agony. Eventually some of them would finally realize the useless point of leading melancholy marriage and ended it after quite a term. How unfortunate, for these women had actually wasted their ages to undeserving persons.
Taken from 'Making Marriage Work for Dummies', a marriage will be best if we debunk common marital myths, fight
fairly, reduce marital stress, maintain a good sex life, and work
together to resolve money issues that affect the marriage. Very true, indeed. After all, the main reason of why people get married at first place is actually to complete the flaw and strength of one another. To accept the ugliness and to cherish the beauty in the partner. No?
Almost getting to the fourth year, The Hubster has done nothing but good things ever since. No, this is not a husband-praising-activity blog post. I know most women would always put in all the good words when it comes to their partners (indeed you should) but that's not how I roll. It is true The Hubster is not one of those rich husbands with topnotch profession and fancy cars. But I am lucky for he adheres to every core of making a marriage works.
"To have and to hold
For better or for worse
For richer or for poorer
In sickness and in health
To love and to cherish
As long as we both shall live,"
Always have respect for your spouses, people!
We did fight like serious adults. We did kick and punch like a bunch of kids. But one thing we always keep in mind is that never take your arguments to bed. It is the bed that soothes all your anger and resentment in one night. Believe me for you will laugh at how immature your fights have been when you wake up in the morning. I am thankful for both of us have finally understood the right way to fill in the gap between our flaw and strengths. He is my better half.
Always have respect for your spouses, people!
