"Even good marriages fail. One moment you're standing on solid ground, the next minute, you're not. And, there's always two versions, YOURS and THEIRS. Both versions start the same way though. Both start with two people falling in love"-Grey's Anatomy
It took me almost 10 hours for me to be able to come up with something I can share about my marriage. Lemuel and I got married last January 22, 2012. We're married for almost 6 months now, and still we're not yet living together. During my first blog I mentioned that I'm on a LDR (Long Distance Relationship) because Lemuel has to work as a staff nurse at a government hospital in Pangasinan. Up to this day, he's still working in the province. We all know how hard it is to find a job here in Manila.
Before we got married, our relationship has been through so many, many, MANY ups and downs. Keeping a long distance relationship will really test your patience, trust and loyalty. And when we finally said our 'I dos', the TESTING have only just begun. I didn't expect that being married while your other half is far away could be this so hard. We've been through so many fights, both our patience and trust, pushed to the limits. I really don't want to over share our personal lives, so I'll stop there.
Dito ko napatunayan na totoo pala ang kasabihan na "And pag-aasawa ay hindi parang kanin na basta isusubo mo, at pag napaso ka ay iluluwa mo lang". This is so so true. Once you're in, there's no turning back (unless of course, if you're outside the Philippines where divorce is an option). I am very happy that I am married to the person I truly love. I know that one day, we will be living together. We just need to sacrifice for now.
The best way to keep a long distance relationship going strong is to always COMMUNICATE.
