Marriage is the only game of chance where both players can win or both lose!

I've been telling people that we are attending marriage counselling sessions. More often than not, they will give me that "what-problem-are-you-both-having" look, thinking that counselling happens when your marriage is not working.... but its really about preparing both parties for a lifestyle change. It manages expectations that both of us have about the marriage, fulfilling the needs of each person, how to handle decision making and conflicts etc, And i feel that it really helps that we share our thoughts on these issues so that we don't enter the marriage blindly.

We have done 4 sessions so far with our church's pastor and his lovely wife, and I must admit that it is not easy at all to prepare for the sessions. Many times i have to struggle with certain questions because it really makes you think what you want, not only in the marriage, but in life!

Of all the important lessons learnt, I would like to share this with you: Love is an unconditional commitment to an imperfect person. Only when you are willing to give up half of youself, can two become one in marriage.
