Day +918 : Marriage lesson (1)

I am fine today.

As an effort to strengthen the marriage among couples in the church, our church conducts lessons on “Building Your Marriage” on Saturday night fortnightly. We engaged an external pastor couple from Campus Crusade to lead us in the lesson. Many couples, both young and old in term of marriage age, attended the lessons.

We learned how to build strong marriage based on Biblical principle. Many couples, including my wife and me, learned a lot from the lessons.

We also get to know a lot of interesting stories through the sharing session during the lesson. A wife complained that her husband never invited her for a private meal after marriage. They already married for at least 20 years, and I believe her husband must have invited her for meals very often before marriage.  But after marriage, things had changed and she was quite disappointed with her husband. “I am waiting!” she said angrily.

We tend to do a lot of good things to our partner before marriage but stop doing them after getting married. This change might upset our partner and even spoil our relationship.

One thing to keep our partner happy is to continue doing things that pleased our partner like before marriage. I am sure this will serve as an important factor in strengthening marriage relationship.

See you next post :-)
