I was reading the papers which I took on Wednesday when I read up on this article titled:
"Manic Mummy"
This article touched me deeply.
The article talks about how this woman go off on a rare girls' afternoon out. & end up squealing over purses, bags, shoes and dresses with her consumer-in-crime despite being broke.
This was what I read in the later part of the article that touched me greatly and gave a whole new meaning to love.

===============
"I SMS to my husband to tell him I've been buying things. Sad emoticon face. He messages back: "Its okay." Suddenly, I feel very loved. I may have splurged away the grocery money, but all is forgiven.
The next day, the spouse and I stop by the ATM for a reality check. There's $10 left in his account. We hug one another.
Yes, there's fear. But there's also hope and excitement at braving the odds. And we'll always have love and fresh air."

How sweet isn't it?
Out of how many married couples will you chance on one like them? Majority out there might probably be squabbling or worst, having fights already. Yet, they brave through the odds, really literally ODDS together considering they have a 12kg toddler. And out of 10 men how many are as understanding as this husband of hers? Who works so hard to keep the family going yet doesn't go throwing a temper and starts scolding his wife for spending the money away unnecessarily?
Let's twist the story a little and say the husband starts yelling at her when she gets home, what would have happened? Would she still feel loved? How would she have reacted? Repent? Or fight back?
What do we all learn from here folks?
It needs lots of effort from both parties to keep the marriage / relationship going. Not only keep it going, to let it last.
Or commonly known, "It takes two hands to clap."
They say money is the root to all conflicts. Why then is it not true for this lovely couple here?
Well, in actual fact, everything is baseless because it's our actions that honour the words. Don't you think so?

On a side note,
I just realised it's been awhile since boyfriend and I have been to places we always patronized in the past. For example, the Hong Kong Cafe at I-don't-know where. & also East Coast mac where I vividly remember us eating supper, chit-chatting, and me doing my piano homework at the same time... Times where things were at the purest moments. No conflicts, no arguments, no quarrels, solely happiness, love and appreciation...
I really really miss those times....
Why are things so solemn & mono-toned now?
Where have they all gone to?
All I know for sure is that one thing has not changed.
That is my love for him.
