Happy weekend friends!!!
Every Anniversary was once a day that was looked forward for...as it was in expectation we always have dreams of how we wish the day to look like. Most times we go further to look for templates to use as we wish for the best to come to us.
This was my experience while I was preparing for wedding. On my side, I have attended several weddings and warn several asoebi for other. I have had of how some persons use money gotten from reception to settle expenditure so I don't just wished that for myself. At that point I was not working, just coming from a mission field I had to advice myself to use the little resources within my reach so as not to go into trouble.
Prior before we finally agreed on a date, there were several hitches as if it was not going to happen, some persons in the name of advice told me not to marry my boy friend now my husband because he is not from the same region with me. One of my cousin sisters insisted that she was going to do something terrible if I ever bring a man from the Northern part of my country, all these were the bombs I was faced with.
All those that looked as if they cared so much about me during the wedding preparation flew into the thin air after we wedded. Infact, the myriad of advice I got can form a book, I was actually expecting for post wedding counsels which never came. Deb was left to build a home of her dream.
Four years down the lane we are happy and facing every life's demand together. I remember two years back while we went for couples timeout together my husband was asked, what is unique about your home? He said, 'we do everything together'. That sounds funny right? Yes I does to a neutral but makes lots of sense. Our wedding toast reads, Can two work together except they agree? A most 3 verse 3. This is our watchword oneness in all. If you look into many home it may interest you to notice that there is limit to how the husband and wife relates. Ranging from finances to other things, bir we resolved to make a difference in all.
See, every decision will be questioned, it will face challenges. Ours was not different either, there came a time everyone went his way in terms of taking decision of embarking on projects. Another time came we had to seat to talk to ourselves then the unity was solidified. Less than eighty weeks from now we will be celebrating our five solid years of togetherness. Last year when my sister in-law was wishing me happy four years anniversary, I was like no it's three, it became an agreement, when I calculated I saw it was really four years. How time flys indeed.
This fifth year of marriage means so much to me ranging from the thanksgiving, to the growth we have experienced down to the kids we are blessed with. There are people I heard got married but didn't last up to a month together and separation came knocking. There have not been a time we engaged in fights or something not that we never misunderstood each other but we did and understanding came too. From the days of courtship we resolved not to sleep with hurt at heart, so it has been helping us when it comes to conflict resolution.
On how to celebrate this special occasion we have it in plan to take the family on a special outing to a special place that we will not bother on how to cook for that day. There are other things we have mapped out to do for this special day which I will not unfold till them.
Special days are best celebrated with special people. Thank you friends for following me to this point. You can do well to check the hive learners community on discord for the contest details.
