On Love and Marriage
The movie Kasal Kasali Kasalo was shown today at channel 2 and we were able to catch it while munching our lunch. We’ve heard good reviews about it but we never got to see it in big screen. It’s difficult to find time watching a movie when you have a little child.
Well, it was really good and M0rn1ng and I could relate in much of the dialogues. It was really realistic. I’ll let you in a secret. The first few months of our marriage were horrible. We (?) or maybe it’s just me that didn’t expect it to turn up that way. Now I realize that it’s just but normal having been raised up in 2 extremely different households. I discovered after the wedding that some of my husband’s ways are annoying. That’s because we are brought up differently. I should have known and accepted that fact instead of pushing my ways to M0rn1ng. What Judy Ann’s dad said in the movie was really wise. He said that we marry the person not to change them but to love them as they are. It hit the mark, bull’s eye. Hahaha!
We’ve been married for almost three years now and I say I’ve learned a lot. I’ve learned to love him, as what he is and not try to mold him to what I think is ideal. I’ve also learned to disagree without being disagreeable and work out our differences in a calm way.
True, marriage is a union of 2 imperfect individuals but it is the love between us that makes it perfect. It forgoes shortcomings and forgives faults. And as the years unfold, I’ve seen love transform. From the fiery passion on the first two years of our relationship to being self-sacrificing and being always there when we had a child. I am sure our love is enough to last a lifetime. I love my husband and I will always will.

Beautifully written! And I agree 100%.
Magpapabili nga ako ng VCD ng movie na ito nang mapanood namin ni Chris.:)
thanks Monet.
I hope you’ll enjoy the movie. I’ve heard that they are currently doing a sequel na rin.
aha! yon din pala pinanood nyo nung Sunday ha? I also watched the movie, inabangan ko talaga sya coz I failed to watch it sa big screen. hehe, kaya away din kami ni Hubby coz he preferred watching the Pacquio vs. Barerra but I prevailed.
balita ko nga may part 2, hope I’d be able to watch that sa big screen
hahaha! sana si hubby mo sa sinehan nanood ng Pacquiao boxing match.
Yup meron nga feng. Panoorin natin ha.
marriage is indeed tough! We try our best to survive each year living together in one roof! LoL! Upbringing/culture/environment all these are great factors but then again, we try to make it work…manood nga ako nyan!baka yung friend ko d2 merong mga tagalog movies have that one!
It’s really a big help having bible knowledge to follow on how to react to various things. Probably, if I don’t know what God arrangement regarding marriage I walked out on my hubby on our first year. hahaha It’s always nice to remind our self that we married a human with “slight” imperfection. (slight lang talaga lol) They are not the perfect character from the novel that we read or watch on TV. So we really need to be guided by the wisdom from Above cause He knows the right thing for us.
If you read line by line yung kingdom song about marriage.. nakakaiyak, so touching.. “ang buhay may asawa, kaayusan ng Diyos, tali itong matibay.. “ (di ko kabisado, but this one is one of my favorite)
ay oo Jenny. It’s tougher if you’re not of the same nationality because culture plays a big factor too. I salute you for making it work.
Marami kasi ngayon hiwalay agad ang sagot.
Yup, try and see if you can get hold of a DVD and let me know if you enjoyed watching it.
you are 100% correct. and i admire you for applying Bible priciples eventhough you and hubby doesn’t share the same faith.
and i love that kingdom song too.
