Marriage is a sacred vows and commitment as a couple,but once of them have committed mistakes within the marriage their marriage life,it's hard to say,that everything will be alright.There's just one thing which is hard to give and that is "forgiveness".
My friend have chat with me this afternoon and told me that her husband is mad at her,because she committed a serious mistake against him.They are a newly married couple,but we didn't expect that it will happen to them.The issue here now,is "forgiveness".Her husband couldn't forgive her of what she has done.He blocked her on Facebook and didn't answer her call,she felt devastated and full of regrets.And I don't know what to tell her as a friend .
On the other hand,I feel so sad with her husband side,on how he feels being cheated,that's so painful.
Here in the Philippines,divorce is not already allowed,and marriage annulment takes a lot of expenses.I think the girl wants to be free.And I didn't told her that it's the right thing to do,because I know that it's not easy.I'm just asking myself,why did it happened to them.
She felt that her husband treat her as a "katulong",(house helper),because she often stay in the house to do her household chores.She doesn't have work and she felt being useless and unable to help with their daily expenses.
In my opinion,being a wife,it's a part of our responsibility to do the household daily tasks, I think she has come to her weakest part in her life,that she couldn't resist temptation.
I also understand that she needs "affection ",from her husband,which oftentimes they lack of it because of work.
And it reminded me,that we might not noticed sometimes that our partner becomes cold in our marriage because affection has already gone.Of course we need to comply with our work,but we should also spend time with each other.
Faithfulness in marriage was threatened as the years goes by,because of the advancement of technology also.Where we can meet a lot of people online,especially with Fb,where everyone is treating themselves as a friend.Social media contributes a big percentage in marriage destructions,as I have observe,it became an outlet or getaway with wife or husband who get bored in their life,or relationship .
The sacredness in marriage is just like a very fragile thing that will easily broken these days.But we all know that it will take a lot of pain,consequences and suffering,not only with the couple side but with the children.I knew some kids who had a separated family and it really breaks my heart that a child in an early age can feel anger with their parents.
Now,I'm going back these points that marriage need to
SPEND TIME WITH EACH OTHER
Sometimes it's being ignored,but it really worth to take it seriously.For me,money can't gave us all the satisfaction on earth.Work is a very important factor in marriage but without despising our family especially our partner in life.
AFFECTION
I will compare marriage with a plants,once we plant it,it will not grow bigger when we just leave it here,and didn't provide some water.In marriage also,affection can makes them grow,maybe its a cuddle time,or physical touched is vital.
Go along with mindful friends
A group of friends can influenced us,and as a wife,I'm always considering to be with ladies who are also responsible in their marriage life.Unfaithful friend is also contagious if we always go along with them.
When a person enters into a marriage life,there is no assurance that it will not undergo testing and trials along the way.But what I have learned that we should always nurture our relationship like being in love for the first time.We may lost the fire in our relationship,that is why ,we should let it burn.
Faithfulness in marriage in both sides,will always be very important.Most of time ,I can read some couples especially with celebrity that are breaking up their marriage because of unfaithfulness.That should not happened in our life,that is a very difficult situation for the family.
And as to my friend who became unfaithful with her husband,I just hope that it will be settle soon.
Healing with a broken heart might take a long time before it will gone,unlike physical bruises that lasts for a week,but the pain within may take years or more.I just hope and pray that she can find peace in her heart and make things right.
I salute everyone who is a faithful wife,husband who takes care thru relationship until the end.

I really do hope this is fixed but truly it’s not easy to remain faithful and one thing I’ve come to realize is communication which is really important in homes.. there will be individual differences but when it moves beyond being true and faithful then something must be wrong somewhere
