M-time..."stock-taking"

M-time yesterday was good.

We went to Vivocity again...enjoyed a sumptous dinner at the foodcourt and sat at the balcony for a chat.

It's coming to a year, since the day we got married. We are grateful to God for the good year which has gone by. But we also realised that it's not easy to maintain a good marriage. As we go through our daily mundane lives, when there is little excitement etc... it's easy to start feeling that we just exist beside each other and there is a lack of deeper connection. Such struggles are very real...which is probably the reason why deliberate effort is needed.

We shared about some of our thoughts about the marriage...how things will become even more challenging when kids come along etc...and we came to a conclusion that M-time's really important because regular "stock-taking" keep the marriage healthier. When we take time to communicate deliberately, share our lives deeply....it makes a difference. Little actions on a daily basis also make a difference to the relationship.

Well...it was a good time of "stock-taking". We are amateurs in this and we have a long way to go...but God is and will continue to be our source of grace and strength :)
