Scouter John's wedding

This is our leader, Scouter John and his wife. i took this entry from a friend. i left those words not cancelled because i feel it is not only important in a marriage, but also in friendship and everywhere else.

John & Louisa on the red carpet

& John

What is behind a good friendship and a good team?


Saturday was John's & Louisa's Wedding & this reminds me of the wedding I have attended 4 years ago which is exactly on the last day of the month. The most memorable wedding I ever attended. The official declaration of the perfectly matched couple by god. I should say they are really made for each other. They had their solemnisation held on the most desirable location & time of the day in every girl's eyes; along the sea side during sun set. Time seems to paused just for the 2 of them. I was full of envy as I witnessed the lovers exchanged rings & vow. Wow... Standing beside me was the man I hope to marry. Haha... Shy ar... We hold each other's hand so tightly, imagining the arrival of the day for us.(not my stand; but i don't want to be rude by erasing parts here and there)

So on the same faithful day during John's & Louisa's wedding, we attended both the church & dinner event. The church event was something new for me as I have never attended a wedding in a church. The procedures were very similar to what we saw on TV dramas. The most intriguing part was when the pastor shared with us the success behind his happy marriage. There are 4 key points & they are Communication, Courtship, Compromise & Compassion.

First, communication comes into the picture when opposite attracts. Thus, we need to talk & understand each other's difference. Then, we will appreciate each other's beauty.

Second, Courtship is forever even after marriage. Who says a couple cannot go dating once they are married & have children. When they have children, the more they should find time for themslves. Just the 2 of them. Enjoy the Pat Thor period.meaning more fun and interesting things to keep us together and happy.

Third, Compromising is also very important. Learn to accept each other's flaws & bear in mind that we have ours too. If your partner can stand your flaw, why can't you. Do give & take.
I know we girls love to bear grudges and keep bringing up the past.

Lastly, compassion. Everyday we work for almost a day & when we are back at home we are already half dead. We just need someone to share your day. Someone who can hear your complains. Be compassionate towards each other. Motivatation & encouragement from each other will enhance the couple relationship because you made each other's day better.
