Baba - August 8th 1979...It is said that who you choose marry with, reflects the type of marriage life you're gonna have... And it's that way of life that will leave an impression to all those around you...
And as husband & wife, happiness & hardships are always shared with one another... Discussions & especially arguments are some things that we have to adapt ourselves with... Whatever we do, we would always relate to one another...
The way we talk is different now compared to our lives before we got married... We learned the meaning of "respect" even more... We learned to be more patient...
I guess as years gone by, it has somehow taught us to be a better husband & wife each day... And of course we all do have flaws, where we learned from it & never to repeat the same mistakes again...
Marriage life is something that shouldn't be taken for granted...
It's about respecting his rights as a husband, the head of the family... And respecting my rights as a wife...
I remembered how Grams gave me this piece of advise the moment she finds out that I'm getting engaged, "You can choose & marry a man who knows how to please you; ugly or handsome he may be. But to marry a man who couldn't even lead you to be a good Muslim wife, that is such a waste. Coz he's gonna be the head of your family one day. And you're gonna bore his children & the lineage continues from there on... Ask Allah whether is he truly the one whom you choose to marry with, the one who will guide your family to be a better Muslim... "
Well, I did alright... Thanks to my Grams for the advise...
And to Baba: Yes, I know, you don't ask much of a birthday surprise... And yet you still got that on your birthday... I guess to you, birthdays are much more meaningful to you when you have people just be as they are & treating you with sincerity in their hearts... A year older and a year wiser, yes you are & will be... Insya'allah, amin... =)
