Ok sisters... I am going to try blogging... first try... :)
I have been looking forward to this weekend where we get to focus on our marriage :)
many of you would think Dennis and I have a great marriage...Yes we do :)
Is there disagreements... Yes there are... and I know there are areas to work on ...and I know I need to come and I want to come!
I really do believe that without God and without church and without bro/sis in our lives, our marriage will not be as great as it is now...
I am thankful and grateful..
One surprise for me... While in the feedback, we are asked to rate our first 3 most import needs in marriage... it does not surprise me that Dennis choosed different choices from me.... that John covered that Men need showing admiration, taking an interest and providing sexual fulfillment and looking attractive... while women need affection, honest and responsible! What surprised me was that while I was satisfied with him meeting my 3 most impt needs, he wasn't... Wake up call... Then I recalled john said Each side tend to rate the need of the other as being lower in their own ranking of whats important... I must confess I am sinful of this and I want to repent! For a start I would like to admire my husband more... He is a wonderful man that God bless me with ... Gradually this should help the other 2 areas..
Amen :)

That why we need this workshop to strengthen our marriage.
Even for those marriage more than 14 years like us...
Not only wake up call , but need to put effort in it to build.
It takes 2 to do it.
So we need to sit down and get vulnerable.
What we think about our husband's needs may not necessary be correct.
My husband also said, he needs "affectate", which I overlooked it.
He said he want me to be "小女人", 跟他撒娇.
:) I guess I need to learn that..I need to be more vulnerable to him..
Of course, there are more I didn't able note down all here.. will share on Friday..
I'm grateful for the workshop..
Thank God for John and Karen.
Luv,

Welcome to blogging ;)
For me, I really have not truly digested. Just kept thinking of the movie...so awesome. Learnt a few things:
a) Got to lead our heart
b) Cannot give to others what we do not have (When Caleb's dad told him he cannot give his wife what he does not have)
c) Not giving up even though our spouse may seem so upset and angry with us
Beside the movie, I learnt the following from Winfrey talk show, 1in 3 men commit adultery. I kept thinking about my guy colleagues. Hard to believe they commit adultery but seems like a number of them may have. So scary.....
Praise God we have Christian Hubby. Even then we must not take things for granted. Phew
