Mrs. Dela Cruz for a year now.

I’ve never heard anyone say “You’re perfect for each other” or “Match made in heaven kayo”. True. Were opposite, in many ways. But here we are, 7 years of knowing each other, 1 year of being married, & 7 months of being young parents.

We may differ in our points of view, manners, interests, but we complement each other. We fill in each other’s shortcomings. We adapt to become a better person not necessarily to be a changed person. So since its our anniv, let me share some of the smallest to greatest learning I had in my one year of being wifeymarg:

a. Give way. In conflict, try to stoop down and humble yourself;

b. Admit your mistakes, especially ‘pag huli ka na;

c. Take turns in arguing, learn to keep your mouth shut;

d. Sorry is better expressed with a tight hug and a starbucks;

e. Don’t hide anything, especially your finances (lalo na if hindi ka talaga magaling magtago.hehe);

f. Shop and window-shop alone, if you don’t want to be rushed;

g. Lessen your brat-mode, don’t keep on insisting something that you know isn’t feasible;

h. Before making any decision, consult your better half, or you’ll end up fighting;

i. Listen. Listen without preparing any counterargument. Besides no matter what, kampi kame ni Bubu ko, were on the same team.

j. Don’t forget to have time together, like how you used to be when still bf-gf status;

k. Surprises keep the romance burning.. haha..

There you go, these are just few of the things im learning. Its hard to juggle my roles now, but the headache, I tell you is all worth it!

Woohoo! I love you Hon, thanks for giving me both heaven and hell.

You rock my world!
