14 Years of Marriage

Yesterday a friend of mine was telling me (bragging) about how she and her husband still kiss and hold hands in public after 14 years of marriage. Oh, and he still folds when she pouts. :) I don't mind her bragging because I am still very much in love with my husband of 4 years. But amidst all the divorces and separations, it's nice and refreshing to hear somebody saying how they are still happily married after 14 years. I sure hope my pouting will still do the trick after 14 years of marriage. XD

When I was first married, I went through an insecure stage when I was convinced that one day hubby will cheat on me and go for a younger and hotter girl. (That's what 5.5 years difference can do to your psyche :D) As time goes on that fear went away on its own. I've came to realize that, there are always going to be hot young things out there (more and more as you get older and older too! hahaha), but as years go by, you develop a bond with your spouse that does not exist between him and the "hot young thing."

And I have also went through a state when I hope that we are the "best" couple among our couple friends. "Best" being measured by compatibility and harmony. Now that I've grown more mature, I just wish everybody is in a harmonious relationship like us. ^_^

The trick to a successful marriage is (too soon to say that after merely 4 years?): PICK THE RIGHT PERSON TO BEING WITH! DON'T GET MARRIED FOR ALL KINDS OF WRONG REASONS!
