Couple's Corner: I Will Do It Tomorrow

This is both mine and hubby’s line.

I’m naturally lazy bones. Doing house chores. Not for blogging (though sometimes yes)…and doing the laundry since I had my bestfriend. I’d say I’ll fold the clothes or clean the windows tomorrow. Hubby says I’ll paint the door tomorrow. Until now things are undone. I don’t pressure hubby too much into doing this or that. Except for obviously urgent things. Coz I know that the home is his place of rest.

And unfortunately, tomorrow never ends! HAHA! :D

Been frequenting Taylor Swift’s official website. I listened to the sample of all her songs and I was about to buy the package of her Fearless album complete with videos. But….the mommy who has priorities in me crept in. So I’m putting it aside.

She said in her bio that she writes her own songs. And I admire her so much for that. She learned how to play the guitar when she was 12 when a computer guy went to their home to fix their computer. Not only is she beautiful but she’s so talented!

Speak Now, her latest album is yet to be released on Oct. 25 but it’s on pre-sale now online. And it’s selling a lot already!

Appreciate Your Spouse

from our garden

Our bible talk two weeks ago quite gave us a glimpse of our upcoming Marrieds’ Retreat at the end of October.

The brother who’s leading our Btalk that night asked us to face our spouse, hold hands and look at each other’s eyes. I had goosebumps when he recited a passage from Songs of Solomon. Sorry I forgot the exact chapter and verse. He read it in Filipino but it sounds like this :D

Song of Songs 7

1 How beautiful your sandaled feet,
       O prince’s daughter!
       Your graceful legs are like jewels,
       the work of a craftsman’s hands.
 2 Your navel is a rounded goblet
       that never lacks blended wine.
       Your waist is a mound of wheat
       encircled by lilies.
 3 Your breasts are like two fawns,
       twins of a gazelle.
 4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.
       Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon
       by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
       Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
       looking toward Damascus.
 5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel.
       Your hair is like royal tapestry;
       the king is held captive by its tresses.
 6 How beautiful you are and how pleasing,
       O love, with your delights!
 7 Your stature is like that of the palm,
       and your breasts like clusters of fruit.
 8 I said, “I will climb the palm tree;
       I will take hold of its fruit.”
       May your breasts be like the clusters of the vine,
       the fragrance of your breath like apples,
 9 and your mouth like the best wine.
   
Beloved

    May the wine go straight to my lover, 
       flowing gently over lips and teeth. <sup class="footnote" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em;" value="[a]“>[a]

 10 I belong to my lover,
       and his desire is for me.
 11 Come, my lover, let us go to the countryside,
       let us spend the night in the villages. <sup class="footnote" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em;" value="[b]“>[b]
 12 Let us go early to the vineyards
       to see if the vines have budded,
       if their blossoms have opened,
       and if the pomegranates are in bloom—
       there I will give you my love.
 13 The mandrakes send out their fragrance,
       and at our door is every delicacy,
       both new and old,
       that I have stored up for you, my lover.

Then, we were given small papers and pen and were asked to write the characters that we appreciate in our spouse. We exchanged papers with our spouse and were asked to read what our spouse wrote in the papers. In as short as 2 minutes I was able to write 5 traits that I like about hubby ie, responsible, industrious, caring and handsome.
And hubby was able to write 12! From what I remember he wrote – content, simple, loving, caring, spiritual and beautiful. I told the group is this really me?! But that’s how hubby sees me. They announced that hubby was the winner coz he can appreciate lots of positive things about me.

I think we need to have an appreciation night once in a while. With the fast paced life that we have, we tend to forget complimenting the good in our spouse. I was so encouraged with that activity *grin*
