Starting A New Chapter in Life
Life definitely has a lot to offer, it all started when we were young and were innocent. When all we wanted to do is to play and laugh hard. Those were the times that we do not bother about the food we are about to eat, we do not really bother about the home works that our teachers have assigned, we were carefree, we were wild we were free.
A lot has gone by, we finished primary years, we finished secondary years and most of us were able to finish college. Slowly we are facing the reality of life, how complicated it really is and how totally different it is compared to the years when we were just playing outside, getting dirty and having fun.
By the time that we reach the age of late 20’s that is the time that our eyes are slowly opening to reality. Here come the questions to ourselves like “What do I really want to be?”, “Am I in the right kind of job?”, “Does what I do make me happy?”, “Am I earning enough for my parents?”, “Is it really my obligation to pay my parents back for all the sacrifices and expenses that have gone through for me?”, “Am I on the right career path?”. This is the phase that matured decision making is required. And the biggest decision an adult should think about a hundred million times is “When will I get married? Am I ready for a lifetime commitment?”
I had 2 previous relationships that did not really last for long, not even a year, after that, I did not have any interest to be in another relationship and I focused on finding a job and earn for a living, to help my parents and buy things that I want for myself. I did not have many friends to hang out with, I am contented being with a few childhood friends and my cousins, I was focused on earning and live life as simple as I can.
At the age of 34, I met my wife. Everything went so well and so quick that I knew this is the right time to settle down. She’s young at the age of 25 but she’s a matured woman who can definitely handle things women of her age are not able to manage. Age gap did not bother me from making this decision, I just knew right there and then that it’s time. Marriage is never planned. I do not believe in long-term relationships and foundation to be prepared for a lifetime commitment, God sends us the people destined to be with us for the rest of our lives.
We started our wedding preparations, little by little until we come up with a simple yet very meaningful celebration of our lives as one.
In life, there is no such thing as “planning” or “choosing” who is the right partner, it is all about feeling the situation and accepting what life is bringing you at God’s perfect time. Making life decisions is unexplainable but you will know because it will just happen and for sure, there will be NO REGRETS.

Nice piece 😂😂😂
Congratulations on finding a wife! Sounds like you're ready for it and it should be an exciting and challenging and rewarding new chapter for you!
Upvoted. We can plan and choose...they don't necessarily mean they will happen...most people have intuitions that it's the right thing, the right person or vice versa.
a very beautiful life moment
