A conversation with Ryan, our 6-yr old as we were driving home:

Ryan: Why do couples get married and then separate?

Paolo and I try to explain the different reasons.

Ryan: Dad, Mom, will you ever separate?

Dad, Mom: Of course not! We love each other very much and we will stay married until we die!

Ryan: That makes me sooooo happppyyyyyy!!!

It is my hope and prayer that every couple realizes how secure their children feel when they know Dad and Mom love each other and will stay together. Security is not found in material things, but in the relationships that really matter.

Paolo and I came from the wedding of Gabe Gabriel and Diane Sipin, where we stood as principal sponsors. Yes, we were one of the ninongs and ninongs, and this wasn’t our first. The wedding was very touching and very sincere. Pastor Carlos, the officiating minister, shared to us the 5 F’s of a strong marriage. They were:

FOUNDATIONS
FAITHFULNESS
FORGIVENESS
FRUITFULNESS
FUN

It’s always good to be reminded of these things again and again. A great marriage doesn’t just happen. You make it happen, with God’s help.

Here are some of our “pre-nup” pictures. Feeling newly-weds. Hehe… (thanks to our friend Jaja Suarez)
