Our Happy 62nd Month!

On Friday evening, Rebecca and I celebrated our 62nd month of being together! It was a quiet night and we met up at Grand Cathay for a simple dinner (my treat) at Ya Kun, followed by watching the movie ‘Umizaru 2’.

Somehow, since two months ago when we progressed into our 5th year together, our passion and love for each other only seemed to grow stronger, especially after we got the blessings from both our parents. I don’t know how to explain it.

Even though there are times we have our quarrels or issues to clarify, we are still committed to love each other and work it out together. And that evening, gazing into each others’ eyes seemed such a loving thing to do. I couldn’t help but gaze into the gentle eyes of this woman with whom I have spent the last 5 years of my life, ever since that day that we decided to commit to each other in a relationship.

Perhaps the common trend is that couples enjoy gazing into each other eyes right from the beginning of their courtship, and this gradually decreases over the months and years. Not that eyes gazing is such a great must-have for any loving relationship, but I personally find it so strange that I didn’t start with eye gazing since the beginning of my relationship with Rebecca. But instead, it is AFTER 5 years that I start to realize how quietly assuring it is, to gaze into her eyes, after going through so much together in these past 5 years.

It’s been 62 months already, but it still doesn’t feel enough. Looking back, I can’t help but marvel at how far we have come in our relationship together… and how distinctly my soon-to-be fiancée has grown and matured from a girl into a woman.

Through her, God has changed and molded much of me too… and it is superbly clear enough to both of us, to see a distinct change since the day we came into each others’ lives. God is so wonderful… she is indeed my 3rd greatest blessing in life! (First is my salvation through Jesus Christ, and second is my parents’ upbringing and supporting me while I was young)
