Bro, I'm a married man for almost ten years.....so I'll just share this experience to you, ikaw nalay bahalag relate sa imong mga pangutana.
During my days as a bachelor I was able to persuade (ilad) few ladies to have a healthy relationship with me (one at a time hap..dili ko two timer)....The love that I felt during those times was filled with tremendous PASSION and ECSTASY and so with it's corresponding heartaches....There were even times that I can no longer distinguish the fine line between True Love and Infatuation....Mao nay gi-ingong gugmang ga uros-uros,,,,,but I enjoyed each of those relationship that I had both Ups and Downs..And I believe that my formers partners also felt the same (maayo man daw KUNO ko mudalag relasyon...pili-an lang gyud hinoun) (lol)
When I got married the kind of LOVE that I felt when I was still a bachelor was more or less the same ...ONLY in the first few years.
What happened next? asa na tong gugmang ga uros-uros?
The PASSIONATE / ECSTATIC love that I use to feel with my wife faded away.........
BUT...BUT...it was replaced with an even more stable and endearing love,,,the kind of love that I experienced ONLY AFTER several years from the first day that I got married and shared a single household with my wife...The kind of love that is more understanding, more compassionate, more forgiving and more patient.
To sum it all up? This love that I feel for my wife NOW is
way much better than the previous kind of love.
How did I get it?......I'm not really sure how to answer this because I had not pre planned it nor had I anticipated it.....but I somehow I feel that this kind of love can be acquired through RESPECT for your spouse, COMMITMENT to your family, SHARED happiness, and DEVOTION to your religion (or if you're an atheist maybe devotion to what is considered MORAL)
So TS, I hope you can find something useful in my experience......and by the way,,,Marriage life has DEFINITELY it's UPS and DOWNS too...So better keep a cool head.
