This module made me think of a lot of things, specially the kind of lie I'll be living in the future and who I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. There was this particular topic that we discussed for this module -- the traits or values that we didn't want to be compromised in the marriage. And because of this I came up with my own list, this needs a bit of editing though, its still unfinished. I think that in the coming years, I'll be removing adding new stuff to this list!
God-centered
Respect
Loyalty
Honesty
Spontaneity
Initiative
This is the fun part, we were asked to write our pledge of commitment to our future partner, maybe I'd use this for my vow on my wedding day (who knows, right? Hehe).
(To the man I am going to marry...)
First of all, I am lifting up our relationship to God, may He bless us always and protect us from all the harassments that we will face in the future. (Name of my spouse) I will love and cherish you all the days of my life. I accept you for who you are but I hope you don't mind if I work on you for a teeny bit (haha). I love you for who you are and who you're not and what you are not will not lessen my love for you. I respect you and your decisions and I do hope that you will also respect mine. I know that there are times when I seem to test your patience, believe me its just hormones, thank you for keeping up with my weirdness. We still have a long way to go, this day is just the beginning of the rest of our lives. I do not feel fear, I feel excitement. I am looking forward to each day because I will be spending them with God's best for me. We are no longer two individuals, we are one, now and for the rest of our lives. Let's stick together , okay? I know we can do this, by God's grace. I love you.
Haha, mushy stuff :p
