Marriage: getting into the mood!

Hi fellow bloggers and young at heart! It feels like forever since I wrote in this little blog of mine. I have't been anything into new lately, I guess I just had to reinvent myself or maybe cool off from the world of blogging. I needed some time to take all in, everything. 

So, from my last post, I mentioned that me and my boyfriend are finally taking a leap of faith of getting married. It is true what they say, you actually get excited. I thought this would be just one of those moments where you affix your signature somewhere and be over with. But I am feeling thrilled as a matter of fact. I think that even though we have been together for five years, two of that is having a kid, it is still quite exciting to be really married to the person you want in your life. To feel as if both of you are finally making it known to the entire world that you belong with each other. It's so fun and so overwhelming at some point. It's all good.

We attended this pre-marital seminar as one of the prerequisites of getting a marriage license here in Cagayan de Oro and I mean I expected it to be boring and you know just for the sake of getting the paper work done. But to my surprise it was all funny and really practical for soon to be couples. Yes, we talked about sex and the works. I guess the contradicting point I learned from that seminar is that the resource person told us "Salig pero ayaw dahum" which means trust but don't expect. Seriously? You can't tell me that! 

But really how can you trust without expecting the other person to do the same? I really don't know. For me, it feels really off like no matter what angle I consider it or think about it, I don't get the whole point, do you? Maybe in time I will understand it. But for now, I told my boyfriend and we made a pact to trust and expect that each of us will do the same. I'm crossing my fingers on this one. But you know, I think I just have to trust him, otherwise I'll go insane! 

Anyway, this article really helped me in going through my relationship with my boyfriend and soon my husband! Nevertheless, I have a good feeling of this one. It just feels right.
