Marriage is an amazing thing, I learn. You get pretty comfortable in the relationship after awhile. You settle on certain daily routine and just go through life together as if you have been married for decades. For me, of course, I’m pretty cozy with married life. Sometimes I felt like I have been married for very long though it’s only barely 2 years. When things get cozy in life, I begin to realise that I have been taking my darling for granted. In truth, I find myself dependent on him much more these days that I suddenly feel scared.
It’s funny how our life has settled into a comfortable routine that I just take it for granted that he will just fix the sink, clean the toilet, change the bulb, chase off lizards (while I go screaming into the house…hehe) and pay for most of everything. I just take him for granted that he will always be there for me. Somehow, I got worried when I realise that I have become so dependent on him that I’m afraid I would not survive without him. Of course, many have told me before how lucky I am to have my darling as a husband who does all the house chores. I have to admit I’m simply blessed to have him as my husband and I thank God for him. He’s really a good husband who always take care of me and always find ways to provide for me. That’s undeniable the best quality of him. I couldn’t have asked for more.
Nonetheless, I too always try my best to do my part as good wife. I make sure he has enough to eat at home, wash the dishes, take care of him when he’s sick and occasionally I clean the toilet. Hehe! After all, marriage is all about give and take between two persons. It’s just a matter of who gives more and who takes more. Obviously it’s me who takes more in our relationship. Hehe! Just don’t expect me to chase of lizards, I guess I’m ok in giving more in return. Haha!

Hehe..cute post Jen. That reminds me so much about my own marriage with the opposite part that i does ALL the household chores whereas he settle on the mechanical and financial part of it. Fair enough would u say?

Thanks. It is as long as you are happy. Give and take, like I said. Compromise is the key in marriage. Hehe

yes… never take him for granted… a man who is willing to do the house chores for you is more valuable than a gem
