2 Years and Getting Stronger…

July 08, 2006, it’s been two years now, and even though we encountered struggles, misunderstandings and obstacles on the way, I could say our relationship is getting stronger.

Here are some facts regarding day of marriage (ceremony), and I am not ashamed of it:

* My wife was 6 months pregnant when we were married (unplanned marriage for us, but God planned it…
* We have very limited budget, therefore we have to borrow from someone…
* we lack preparation (one month only) for the ceremony…
* since we lack preparation, I am the wedding coordinator of the ceremony…
* we bought low cost dress for me (but my wife’s gown is not, it’s custom made)…
* we bought low cost silver wedding ring (can’t afford gold)…
* the ceremony was held in a covered open air basketball court….
* it rained (short hard rain) right after the wedding ceremony (just before the reception)…
* we went and stayed at my wife’s

They say that no relationship is perfect… well, I’ll say that God can make a lot of difference with marriage.
We had disagreements, I one packed my things and almost left because of a disagreement we had.
Lately, we realized one of our mistakes, we don’t have prayer time. So we devoted some time (each night before I leave for work) to pray.

We’ll be celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary today (Manila Time) with technically no money at hand (there’s a lot of expenses this month). But in the course of our marriage, we’ve learned to trust God.
Our son is 1 year and 9 months old now, and we’re praying that he’ll be good and have holy fear for God.
I Love my wife, April. I love my son, Obi

And I thank God for blessing our family for 2 years (and the years to come)..

SOLI DEO GLORIA…
