The Family & Healthy Marriages
We've read previous postings from members about broken families, annulment, etc. These stories seems to be prevalent given the many encouraging environment leading to the breakup of marriage and family.
Let us hear the "good talk" and I ask, how we as husband or wife be able to put our families at the center of our life & avoid being included in the statistics of broken families? In other words, HOW DO WE KEEP OUR MARRIAGES HEALTHY?

Poetry aside. ...We've heard some poetic comments, but here are some of my real-life experiences in keeping my marriage healthy;
We share many interests and activities together & enjoy each others company. My wife & I enjoy doing many things together like scuba, outings, shopping, music, dining, etc etc. In fact, we so do things together that we got used to eating in one plate! Yes even at restaurants!
We are trusting and trustworthy & inter personally honest. For example when it comes to "crushes", we are vocal about it. My wife seeing someone on TV would blurt out "that guy is sooooo handsome". Or I would say "what a supermodel". This doesn't bother us at all neither jealousy becomes an issue. At the end of the day, we both value who we have.
We are proud of each other’s achievements, and give realistic praise & is interested with each other's work. Daily we discuss work issues especially starting with "how's work today?" We support one another especially when the going gets tough. Words of encouragement comes first & both of us sees it through because we know that both us is well oriented with each others career. My wife knows exactly what kind of work I doeveryday & vice versa. We can actually be each others assistant. Work is a big chunk of our life, if our partner isnt there in times of difficulties, then it smells trouble.
We share in decision making. Forget the macho image but all decisions should be collective. I even consult my wife on what car freshener scent I should buy. Most especially, we do not see this as losing our individuality, but we see this as caring for each others needs & wants.
We have a common & realistic hopes linked to attainable goals. How many of us have well set family goals? We set goals & make sure in everything we do, it goes towards that goal. For example we have a goal of immigrating to the west by 2010. So, we prepare ourselves towards that goal by organizing finances & other plans. We have to decide not to make any investment in the Philippines like buying a house in order to give way to immigration plans. Husbands & wives should have a clear vision of what's going to happen to their lives in the years to come.
Time out muna, work is calling so I'll come back later.

Give us an idea alyasbobby. ...alyasbobby & to all others, can we hear something a little more specific? Everybody knows the ingredients of a healthy marriage "trust" "understanding" etc etc, but, how is it being practiced in real life situations. Halimbawa si Misis (sa Pilipinas) mo nag paalam na sasama sa mga office mates (na hindi mo pa kilala) para mag bakasyon sa beach, will you be asking a lot of questions, or you'll let trust & understanding take over?
We'll learn from each other if we be more specific with our testimonials. Thanks!

Eto ang mga naging pundasyon naming mag-asawa.... ...Trust, Love & Spice. Don't make your marriage run in a stagnant or routine way.
Heto ang ginagawa namin sa loob ng anim na taon bilang mag-asawa:
* wag patagalin ang away
* Walang lihiman
* wag pagdamutan ang mga pamilya ng bawat isa
* wag sabayan nag isa pag galit.... he he he dito ako lang lagi ang galit asawa ko suntok sa buwan magalit he he he.... pag di na lang talaga kaya ang katabilan ng bunganga ko.:)
* Wag gutumin ang asawa, dapat pag uwi may luto ka na
* maglaro kaung mag-anak, kulitan lambingan araw-araw kahit 10 minutes lang.
* mag inuman kau... tapos mag tsismisan
* pagkatapos magtrabaho sa bahay pag weekends mag apir kau sabay sabing " galing natin, pwede na taung punta london, tiga is-is"
* Lambingan yan kasi ang di nawawala sa ming mag-asawa.... Bungangera lang pangit sa ugali ko sabi ng asawa ko.
* mag date pag may pera... ipasyal anak.
Pero ang higit na bumuhay at nagpapatibay sa relasyon naming mag asawa ay ang aming pangarap. Which is isang buong masayang pamilya. As of now di ko masasabing matibay kasi 6 years pa lang kami... pero sa anim na taon na yun para sa kin wala ng sasaya at mas successful pa duon.
