On The Retrospect

A couple of days ago, my daughter suddenly popped the question on how I was able to determine that her father was the right man for me back in time. As sudden as the question, I just wasn't prepared at all but I had to admit that it was just some tell tale signs about her father that I liked i.e. clean, tidy, shaved, pleasant and comfortable to be around. At the same time, I told her that I hate to bear the truth that it is pure much about guess work as far as how her father, my husband would turn out because there are simply no more tell tale signs after that about how well things will turn out but the bad ones. I suppose that's how things are as far as relationships are nowadays and there's really no telling just how reliable your other half could be. Only time can tell how he would turn out to be. Something to ponder.

We can pick and choose and have standards and criteria but it does not always happen, I am a believer of destiny when it comes to these things, its like waking up and our real and true partner is already there

I believe that it is our hard efforts that determines our destiny. As for standards, I wonder if staying with our principles is similar because I feel that we can never go wrong when we focus and live by our principles.

@louievill I don't know how that could have happened but I suppose that's because the both of you have had it smooth sailing. Wait till the both of you are faced with a crisis then I am sure you will know that your choice has been right since the beginning.

@artemeis maybe effort and hard work is good for career and money but in choosing our partners it does not always turn out the way we like. Yes our principes and standards would always be there with us but in choosing a partner, sometimes we get more or we get less than what we expect

When we chose to get married with our husband we only heeded most of what our heart dictated us , because we love each other . It's up to the both of you to make the most of the marriage and keep it alive and well.

I believe behind all that dictation is lots of hard work in building up the relationship to what it is today and tomorrow.

It is something that you can't account for sometimes.This is why some people say it must be fate for a couple to be together.

I always felt that it is a very big injustice to our other half if we simply put it to fate because fate doesn't and will never play out if both parties do not work equally hard together.

Aw How old is your daughter? She must be smart to be asking you that question. I'd probably need a couple of minutes to come up with a good answer

I'll keep her age a secret and hint that she's already a young adult in a relationship. I suppose with whatever that has been happening around I can understand what she's going through but relationships these days are really becoming different from what I've been through in my days.

It is hard to know how things will turn out, but we can only go with what is right.

At the same time a successful relationship requires mutuality to work together the differences between each other and work hard.

Simply because you love your husband and you just know he will be the loving Dad for your daughter.

Believe me the both of us have to work very hard and right till today. Otherwise I don't think we could ever end up together at all.
