| Happily Married |
We
are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end. -
Benjamin Disraeli
Reminisce…..
When was the last time you and
your spouse went on a first date? Think. Was it a long,
long
time ago? Come on think. You have to remember. True to many people that they
had
butterflies
in the stomach during the proverbial first date.
Alex and Nina
are happily married for the past 26 years. Their first date happened 28
years
ago. It was a simple dinner date on their favorite restaurant. Nina recalled
that she
was
very nervous. She stayed in the mirror for two long hours checking for stray
hair or
crumpled
dress. Her heart was beating so fast. After so many years she still feels quite
nervous
every time her husband asks her out.
Did you get a little nervous? Or
anxious? Ever wonder why? I suppose your heart was
beating
faster, making a faint throb on your chest. You got nervous because you wanted
to
make
sure that everything would turn out right. The date itself was important to
you. You
wanted
it to be perfect.
Belle happily
married for the past 13 years, stammers when she is nervous. She’s also
clumsy. Don asked her out for the first time to dine. She agreed. There on the
restaurant happened the most unforgettable scene in her life. While they’re
having dinner, she noticed that her hands were shaking violently. She tried to
stay calm, but she can’t. She then decided to go to the restroom in the middle
of the dinner. To her haste, her heels got caught in the lacy tablecloth. The
moments she stepped forward, the tablecloth and the rest of the food on top of
it moved with her. The food was on the floor and the dinner was a complete
mess. Don just looked at her in awe.
Prior to the date, you checked on
things that you’ll need. You ransacked your closet. You
looked
for an outfit that seems to fit the event. A couple of hours before the big
event, you
took
all your time in front of the mirror. “Did I forget something? Is everything in
order
now?”
you asked yourself. Then you smiled. Now you’re ready.
You looked on your date. He or
she was fantastic. You wish he or she also felt the same
way
for you. The waiter took you to the table you reserved. You can’t think. You
don’t
know
what to do. You just stared at your date. You exchanged meaningful glances. You
were
brought back to your senses when the waiter asked for your order. You smiled
again.
You
noticed that the nervousness was slowly fading away. You then felt more
comfortable
to
strike a conversation.
Charlotte is a
very shy girl. She doesn’t usually engage herself in chatter. But Brad has
made
an exception. Whenever he and Charlotte are together, he persuades Charlotte to
express
herself. After a series of dating, Charlotte’s friends and relatives are shocked
to
see
her as a chatterer.
The meal was served. You both
enjoyed the meal, and most especially the company. You
asked
for a walk after dinner. You head to a nearest beach. There, in the stillness
of the
night
and sea, you learned more about each other. The wind played with your hair as
you
go
deep into a conversation.
After a couple of minutes
walking, you got tired and decided to sit down on the sand. The
two
of you became quiet, relishing the moment. Happiness was in the air. You
hesitated to
break
the silence, but then you know that you had to voice out what you feel. You
told him
or
her that you had a great time.
