According to Pope Francis' in his latest visit in the
Philippines
“Don't ever lose the memory of when you were boyfriend or
girlfriend. That is very important”
Like any other bible quote, it’s vague but sounds
inspiring
Until reality slaps you with a situation where you can
totally relate
An old saying proclaims that a married couple should be
like 2 pillars
Close enough to let the wind pass through them
Which simply means that each spouse should always have
that space between them
Such amount of space to still let each other grow as an
individual
Going back to Pope Francis’ quote all I can say is that
it’s easier said than done
Romance is slowly killed by the realities of things that
should not even bother you
Things and people
enter your life not because you want them but because they are part of a package
A package that you don’t have a choice but embrace
Rekindling the looks you shared as unmarried couple will
be a challenge
Especially when
the look your partner gives you is scrutinized by people who shouldn’t be in the equation.
Those equation unfortunately matters
Hence, you have no choice but to respect it
However respect begets respect and works 2 ways
If that equation doesn’t work like most math problems
The only solution is gloriously flunk it
Simply put, ignorantly put a smile on your face and
pretend everything is okay
When everything seems impossible who else could you turn
to?
It might sound cheesy but a good old quick prayer will
cool you down
The calmness in prayer reigns in your emotion and anger
Let’s you think that the best solution is still kindness
To all married couples who are working hard to let the
other equation work
Patience, diplomacy, prayers and an instant amnesia will
just do the trick
Quickly forget what has been said and focus instead on
the immediate family
you’ve
got
After all words can only hurt you if you let them
