:: For better or for worst ::

We’ve finally started on the renovation of our new home. It’s been an endless hours of shopping and material selection.

A few days a go we got into our first major argument which really affect our patience with each other. BUT for the first time, I found myself trying to be the patient one, thinking of all ways and means to solve the problem, to talk to him, to ‘sayang’ him.
Usually am the one who’ll just give up, and ignore the problem. This little yet major incident has given me a huge wake up call on the realization of the commitment am getting myself into, though we’ve already dated for 7 years, suddenly the importance of marriage, the words ‘ for better or for worst” really rung in my head.

For once, I found myself reminding myself of the stress both of us have been going through, that his parents are driving him nuts, that he has been an angel going shopping on his own for our house because I’ve been too bogged down with work to join him. And yet he made the effort to let me know every detail of the situation going on from the design and ideas of the house to the heater he is thinking of getting, just to make sure its OUR house, not just his and mind. He never complained.

Ironically, our little tiff arose, not from each other disagreeing with each other but because we wanted each other to have what we wanted.

I know he’ll always try to give me whatever I want, and will try to give his best to me.

So all I have to say to him is, I really appreciate him, and all his efforts. That I really thankful for him never giving up on me, and finally for loving me for who I am. : )
