Changes

I used to look forward to marriage because I thought it was what would "complete a girl's dreams".
You know, finding Prince Charming, having someone to pamper me, to make me feel less lonely, etc.
Those were my views a looooong time ago.

Now, I look forward to marriage because:

1. It's with my best friend (by the grace of God), not just with someone who is a pretty face. He's someone I can be real with as well as is real with me, someone whom I can talk to and debate with, someone who rebukes me lovingly for every stupid move I make or when I'm going down a wrong path, someone who stands by me in life, someone whom can make me smile with a single look even when others try to cheer me up with a 1000 words (wah how cheesy hehe), etc.
2. I know that no one (not even him) can fill the void in my heart except God, and so I will not enter into marriage wanting to have this void filled.
3. I look forward to collaborating efforts with God in bringing out the best in my future spouse.
4. I understand better now that marriage will bring out the worst in me (so that the best in me can be produced), and that marriage serves a greater purpose than just a piece of paper as well as living for oneself.
5. It's scary but exciting to grow in life with someone I adore, respect, trust, and cherish and am committed to love.

Random fact: I'm getting more domesticated! I've cooked and tried 3 new dishes in 2 weeks! A new achievement! :)

Take care people! Have a blessed week ahead!
