a book by Dr Emerson Eggrichs. before cesar and i get married, we had a counseling session with tatay tito. he encouraged us to read the love and respect book which we bought right after the session (thank you fully booked!).
here's the simple message of the book:
a wife has one driving need -- to feel loved. when that need is met, she is happy.
a husband has one driving need -- to feel respected. when that need is met, he is happy.
it's like, when a wife respects her husband (which he desperately needs), in return, the husband loves his wife (which she most desires). and vice versa.
i am a freshman of this course. a lot of things yet to be learned and discovered. there will always be a room for mistakes. i am thankful that God is the center of this relationship. no matter what, my love for cesar will never be less. i am always in love and more in love with my husband. it deepens everyday.
as i love him with all my heart, i also give him the respect that he needs.
dy, forgive me if at times you feel that i do not. please bear with me. i am getting there. we will get there. i sincerely thank you for loving me, mostly at times that i am not lovable. you are such a wonderful blessing to me. i love you.
"wedding is just one day. marriage is lifetime."
thank you, pastor tito! until our renewal of vows. kayo po uli magkakasal sa amin :)
