Thursday it is!
How's everyone doing this fine day? Personally still holding on and trying to push through.
I thought I'd drop by with another motivational posts that I think alot of parents in the house will appreciate. Not sure where the source of this amazing words are, but it was shared to me by a friend on Whatsapp and I felt very oblidged to share it with you guys as well.
Later in marriage when you hit parenthood, you'll realize what you really wish for in your spouse is not big money or 'six-pack'. A pretty face and a good bank account are nice to have but at the end of the day, there's so much more you should be looking for.
At 3am when your child is crying, and your eyes are heavy and your body is weak for postpartum, it will not be how he looks or what he owns that will matter. It'll be the compassion in his heart and the love for you in his soul that push him out of the bed to attend the child immediately and tell you,
"Go back to sleep, love. I got this."
If I could tell the younger people what to consider in a companion, I would say marry the man who will be the best father for your children. The man who will put you and your little family first, above all else. The man who is as responsible as you are in raising family because you both are in it together. In short, marry the person who will set a standard for a spouse in your children.
Because in all of these, whenever you watch your partner with your child, you'll find yourself falling in love all over again. Choose wisely, not only for you but also for your child.
I don't know why I felt very resonated with this message, maybe because I am still in that phase of searching or rather waiting to find "the one" and I felt like this is something I need to tuck somewhere at the back of my mind.
I don't know also how many of you agree with this message or how many thing differently. It sure would be nice to know so feel free to drop me a comment or thoughts on the comments section.
And for those that are already married and with kids already, is this something you had to go through in deciding the kind of life partner you need? Is that how you eventually got to be with who you are with currently?
Quite often I have heard people say Sometimes Love is Not Enough, could this possibly be what they mean?
So Many Ques, yet so little answers....
