| | I have just come back from the Young-Parent-Age-Group Retreat. They asked me to help them out with their children while they do their retreat thing (basically baby sitting). I must say, it was very nice. I got to talk to some parents during the retreat, and it was very pleasant.
Throughout the retreat, they seemed to be very interested in my future marital plans...
This one lady started to give me her experiences in dating and in marriage. Her main points were:
1. Even if I don't like the girl at first, don't write her off. AND even if she does not like you, don't give up.
2. Marriage is all about UNDERSTANDING one another. She told me that being married for 4 years, she is only now understanding her husband 0.5%.
3. All relationships are in need of INTENTIONAL work.
She was so sincere and caring when she was talking to me. I appreciated her genuineness to share her wisdom and experience with me! : )
I agree with her in pts 2 and 3. I haven't said NO to pt 1, but it's not settling well in my heart. But since she was talking out of her experience, I will hold it for a little and think about it.
One thing for sure though: I WILL NEVER SETTLE! : ) Meaning, I will not marry for marriage sake.
In all, I had a good time! : )
