Sepuluh

It's almost 3.30 am and I'm wide awake
Besides the big belly, the other contributing factor to this sleep problem is the hot weather -which is said to last until June masyaa Allah
Not a good news to a pregnant mother
Anyway today marks our 10th anniversary
Ten.
Sepuluh.
Just wow.
I remember clearly how tough it was in the first 5 years of marriage
Going to ofc with mata bengkak from crying whenever we had arguments and when ppl ask on the mata bengkak the normal answers were:
"Smlm migraine x boleh tidur"
"Kena kencing lipas/gigit serangga rasanya"
With smile on the face.
It stopped the questions but the emotions that ran through me the whole day was entirely a different story

Reflecting on marriage early on, you don't actually know yourself and your other half before marriage
You only get to know the real him and the real you after that marriage
the process of understanding and reacting to one another is extremely a hard task
You have your own principles while he has his
And changing or rather challenging that principles or perspectives requires tactics which you can only acquire in more more years of marriage
And you will also discover the weaknesses or rather, the dark side of both of you

Nope, definitely not easy
And when some heavy expectations are put in the marriage - for instance, to have a baby, while you were told that you can't - definitely adds more misery and conflicts

And i learnt that most problems or arguments in marriage should not be told beyond the 2 of you
Unless it requires a fair character to put both of you together again
Or when you feel that the whole world is going down on you and you feel like killing yourself
Remember, only a fair character and not someone who will tell you "hey i definitely agree with you and he's completely wrong"

Last and the most important thing is to have that solid foundation of faith/religion in marriage
Understanding the purpose of life and marriage and that God is there watching you 24/7

Wow.such an emotional reflection of 10 years of marriage
We are still learning to understand and improve the way we communicate with each other

And that i learnt the good qualities in him.
Protective.
always try to give me positive point of view when i nag about my work.
help me with house chores.
A good cook. feed me when I'm hungry
Always try to come out with surprises on special occasions although the wife always get to discover earlier
Committed to his work
Loving father and good teacher to our kids

Alhamdulillah.what more can we ask for

i may need a bouquet of flowers (not roses) to congratulate myself for being the "perfect" woman I am today
Happy anniversary to you and me
