My Hubby Said...

If you dig my old blog entries, I'm sure you'd find a few that mentioned on the benefits of staying single. To be fair, today I'd like to mention some benefits of being married :) In life, everything has its pros and cons. Neither is really better than the other. What makes it the best depends on the choices we made and the mindset we choose to hold.

Hubby has wondered whether I prefer my single or married life. I told him both are different. Being single, go dig my past entries. Being married, I have a best friend for life :) What do best friends do? They talked about anything and everything, they do everything together, they pleases one another, they share many things, they wanted the best for their best friend and they become a witness to their best friend's life. I have many good friends throughout the different period in my life. I still keep in touch with some of them but different geographical location and life commitments causes everyone's priority to change. I have never had a single best friend from my childhood till now. Now I do :) From the moment he said the akad, by Allah's will... till death do us part, I have a best friend for life.

Being married, your other half's opinion matters. It's good for check and balance like the moment I felt like splurging on a handbag. Not my regular splurging but real BIGggg splurging. I suddenly have a cravings for a really expensive handbag :) How expensive is expensive? Just something in the range of RM400 to RM1500. Yup... just something around that figure hehehe... No... hubby didn't say no. He just said he didn't really like the design. Good tactic hubby, good tactic... but it works. Hubby said he didn't mind really. Of course he doesn't cause if it is not my necessity, I pay for it. But I value his second opinion anyway.

Being married, you'd like to share your other half's opinion with others as well. When people say my hubby said this and that, you can also do the same. It's like staking a claim that you're part of an equation too. That shows you're committed to somebody and you matters to them. Even if whatever hubby said could be something that you can't do, you'd mention it with a certain level of fondness. For example, hubby said "jangan jeling-jeling orang lain" or "jangan balik malam-malam"... that shows he cares isn't it. Yup... being married is knowing someone cares for you.

When I keep mentioning hubby said this, hubby said that... it's a sign that I missed him too much :) Lately, I've been busy. Hubby said, "sayang bini, bini tinggal-tinggalkan" hehehe.... Hmmmm... we have to make the best of whatever time we can spend together when either one of us is busy. I'm going outstation again on Monday. It surely makes us appreciate the free time we can spend with each other. Absence make your heart grow fonder. I'm looking forward to not so busy time... but if I'm always not busy, I can't splurge on expensive handbags :) Balance... balance... we have to find the perfect balance in life.
