I always look forward to the moment where the bride, stunning in her long white wedding gown (often with tears in her eyes), walks gracefully towards her dashing groom at the altar. Call me emotional, but this moment never fails to bring tears in my eyes. I even cry the hardest during the exchange of wedding vows. Hehe.
It’s always a nice feeling to witness how two people fulfill their promise to love each other unconditionally before God. It’s not about the amount of money spent on the wedding that makes it extra special. It’s not about the fancy ring, the luxury bridal car, or the number of guests.
It’s about two people who, despite their imperfections, are made perfect for each other by our Creator.
One of my friends is finally getting married. Her boyfriend of six years proposed to her and gave her an artcarved diamond ring that probably cost a fortune! I am so happy and excited for her.
Needless to say, I can’t help but feel soooo kilig each time I hear stories about marriage proposals. It’s really a moment that every girl looks forward to in a relationship. And I hope every guy would be willing to go the extra mile in order to make his proposal special for the girl of his dreams.
A fireproof marriage doesn’t mean that fire will never come. It means that when the fire comes, you will be able to withstand it. – One of my favorite quotes int he movie.
A few days ago, my husband bought a DVD of the Christian movie Fireproof. We’ve always wanted to watch this movie together because we knew it would bless our marriage. And true enough, it did! I couldn’t stop crying the whole time as Caleb, the lead male character in this movie, go through The 40-day Love Dare Challenge that will save his marriage.
My husband and I have been married for 6 years now. Our marriage, I believe, has always been stable. But just like any other marriages, I know that ours needs major improvement. And this life-changing movie opened both our eyes to every aspect of our marriage that needs to be worked on. I love my husband and I know he loves me just as much. But we need to learn how to love each other more unconditionally, just like how God loves us even if we don’t deserve it.
After watching Fireproof, my husband has started showing me little acts of kindness and sweetness again. Just like the old times. *wink*. He recently gave me a card and posted “I Love you” notes on my office computer. My friend, Jaq, saw it and said: “Yuck! Feeling teenager?!” Haha.
Anyway, with no further ado, here’s the trailer of the movie.
At work, inside burning buildings, Capt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter’s adage: Never leave your partner behind. At home, in the cooling embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules.
Growing up, Catherine Holt always dreamed of marrying a loving, brave firefighter…just like her daddy. Now, after seven years of marriage, Catherine wonders when she stopped being “good enough” for her husband.
Regular arguments over jobs, finances, housework, and outside interests have readied them both to move on to something with more sparks.
As the couple prepares to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb’s father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experiment: “The Love Dare.” Wondering if it’s even worth the effort, Caleb agrees-for his father’s sake more than for his marriage. When Caleb discovers the book’s daily challenges are tied into his parents’ newfound faith, his already limited interest is further dampened.
While trying to stay true to his promise, Caleb becomes frustrated time and again. He finally asks his father, “How am I supposed to show love to somebody who constantly rejects me?”
When his father explains that this is the love Christ shows to us, Caleb makes a life-changing commitment to love God. And with God’s help he begins to understand what it means to truly love his wife.
But is it too late to fireproof his marriage? His job is to rescue others. Now Caleb Holt is ready to face his toughest job ever…rescuing his wife’s heart.
Today marks our 6th Wedding Anniversary. As I am writing this entry, my dear husband is sleeping peacefully on our bed with his arms draped over our little boy’s body. What a blessing to see them that way!
My husband possesses many admirable traits. I’ve seen those traits since we started dating in 2001. I used to call him “Mr. Eligible Bachelor” because of his faith in God, perseverance, intelligence, wisdom and eloquence. He’s the kind of man you would want to bring home and introduce to your family.
When I was single, I told myself that I would never introduce a man to my parents — unless he’s THE ONE. And true enough, he was the only boyfriend I brought to our home and three years later, we got married.
Some friends once asked me why I decided to get married at an early age (23). I told them, “When you’ve found the one that God made for you, why would you want to let him go?”
It didn’t take me a long time to realize that Leo was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. He is the kind of man that every woman would pray for; God-fearing, loving, family-oriented, responsible and faithful. I am not saying that my husband is a perfect man. Of course, no man was created perfect. When you go out every single day looking for a perfect man, then it will be a never ending search. What’s important is that someone, despite his imperfection, was made perfect for you by our Heavenly Father.
My husband may not be a perfect man, but he is MY PERFECT MATCH. It is my prayer that you find your perfect match too. One piece of advice though, marry the man you love talking to and be observant enough as to how he treats his mom. Chances are, he’ll treat you the same way.
P.S: I wish I could share more about us, but it’s almost 5am. I need to get some sleep so I can cook something special for lunch later. Have a blessed Sunday!
