Married life is NOT easy, and at the same time, it is downright FULFILLING!
Such a paradox. Someone told me that marriage surfaces all the hidden realities of issues that we have stuffed under the carpet for such a long time.
I have to deal with my lack of direction in life; I have to deal with the untidiness which my mother screams at me about; I have to deal with my constant engagement with the computer and the Internet and how to get off it.
Is married life easy? Nope. The problem is that many married couples I know avoid facing the issues in their lives that are presented. I know this because I fled from many of these issues. But marriage counselling/mentoring has been helpful in pointing the fact that I don’t ever want become numb to the pain of reality.
Am I regretting? Never. The pain of discipline produces sweeter fruit than the pain of regret. Pain of regret only produces bitterness and then death.
I hope and will choose to deal with reality all my life.
