Life on Marriage

April 10, 2015 1140hrs.lt.

I have a colleague in the office, she just recently joined our team last January 2015.

She was actually excited on the new things and was amazed by how much salary she gets compared to her situation back to her home country where her struggle was times three. She then shared that her happiness has regained as she can provide all her wants now and even managed to support her family without the stress of budgeting unlike her income.

Her job indeed pays more than she can think of however as we get to our mid conversation she was in agony on how to persuade his husband as she wants to bring her spouse here so he could realize that there is more life waiting for him than on that small Island they’re currently exist in and that the opportunity was unlimited if one is hardworking.

Unfortunately, the Husband was able to see the definition of life back home. He is currently the Chief Fire Man personnel and all their Barangay look up to him with kind & respect. He explained to her OFW wife that our earnings are sufficient enough to meet the daily needs with consideration to their two sons who’s in elementary. He continued, it would be much happier if she will come home and be with them to make a simple life.

The OFW wife was upset hearing it from her husband which she previously recalls that it was completely different from the thought he said before which she mentioned that he have a bigger dreams than staying in their island and that he doesn't want to settle for less.

I was of course was just listening to her sentiments, I could see that she was excited with the new environment she saw was best suited for her needs. Here, Money is Power. You could buy the things that you want if you have this kind of Power. You can pamper yourself and get much more options.

Until she get over and have satisfied enough from the material things this land has to offer. I could for sure see that she will get to what her husband has seen in the Island that made him stay.

In life we need to ask ourselves what is the most important thing to us. We should figure out if the action that we are doing is similar to our beliefs. Struggle/Stress arise when the thought that we have is different to what we do.

In Marriage, both people who have come in front of god had promised the internal commitment of Love for each other through whatever problem it may arise as they go through with life. We need to remind ourselves as time crouch in manner that we don’t expect until it’s too late.
