I
have chosen 26 Tips for a Happy Married Life as my theme for A-Z April
challenge, 2016. Today
the word is yes I do
Recalling
the wedding vows wherein the priest ask the very popular question to both of
them “ Do you promise to be true to
her/him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and honour her all the days of your life ? Both the man and woman say “Yes” I do for
the first time and later on face a lot of challenges to continue to live that “YES”.

Not
everyone is lucky to have found a companion for their journey. Some are yes lucky enough to have stayed
together honouring the commitment.. Marital life becomes truly beautiful and is
worth all the challenges; the couples face only to get transformed into meaningful
and authentic relationships. As their roles keep changing, gaining new identity
walking along, learning sometimes through hard way; some of life’s finest lessons.

I
can’t believe it is already 16 years when I said my “Yes” and am still living
that yes, after all the ups and downs of this journey together. We have seen
good times as well as bad; of course there was sickness and even death in our family.(my
seven year old son) who left us shattering our lives bringing pain and
heartaches. But then we don’t forget our
teenage daughter who keeps us happy, smiling and motivated with all her needs,
demands, stories of her school and teaches us to learn how to operate our cell
phones J how to do
on line shopping J keeps reminding how much we need to
learn from youngsters J

Thankfully
we have enough space to discover our own purposes in life, a set of friends whom
we can rely upon when we are tired of our journey, meaningful work that keeps
us engaged and above all a community that constantly ignites our faith in God
and in one another.
One
more day to go for the challenge; feeling like an achiever to have done this
post. At the same time, feeling sorry that I will miss your interactions. I hope to catch and comment as I have seen
quite a many bloggers inspiring and motivating.
Be
Blessed & Be Happy!

Thanks kala :) it was a meaningful experience for me to blog on this topic; and I did surprised myself by writing and meeting the deadlines, even though initially I scheduled few posts, but then I did not stop myself from making changes as and when I felt inspired. Thanks for being here, I appreciate you for your constant affirmations.
DeleteBeing together in good and bad times with your spouse, being there for each other, working as a team and sorting out the issues is what marriage means. Glad that it has worked out so beautifully these 16 years. Here's to many many more. Cheers ♥
