It's been 3 whole years :)
3 years, and I'm truly thankful for him being a wonderful blessing in my life. There are so many things to give thanks for in our relationship, and at times, it wasn't easy. Both of us aren't perfect, and each and every day of us being together, had played a part in teaching us every single thing about love.
Thinking back, we started out pretty rough and emotional with my parents being not so welcoming to the idea of me having a boyfriend at the age of 20. But we prayed for God to move the mountains, and we're indeed thankful for their acceptance, for this happy family. It's true to some extent that relationships are easier to handle at the start cos things seemed so nice and rosy, but gets harder along the way when we started taking each other for granted and becoming more picky with each other.
Though both of us had our rough moments now and then, we tried to depend on God and always seek to reconcile and make things work out. Me, being unperfect, had to eliminate the idea of wanting things my way. I've come to realise that a relationship wouldn't work out if i kept insisting my way. Rather, we've both learnt to listen to each other's needs, to communicate and to ask God for wisdom; though i think we can always improve on the latter.
I guess throughout the 3 years, the main thing that I've learnt is that a relationship is really not about 'me'. And that's where unconditional and sacrificial love comes in, which is always the hardest. Many times, our interest has to be put aside and either of us must take the initiative to compromise.
That being said, it's been a really enjoyable and sweet process, and we're indeed very blessed. While we will continue to work for our relationship, we pray that God will be in the centre of it all and guide us; for without Him, there would be no us. As for our friends, we too are really praying that one day you would find 'the one', just as we did :)
We love because He first loved us.
