I always complain to my husband for being so reserve and silent. He doesn’t talk that much about what he thinks and how he feels which sometimes causes our misunderstanding thus resulting to frequent fights.
One day, I sent him an email asking him how he feels about everything and the way our marriage is going. After a few hours, he sent me a reply. He sent me this…
A faded wedding photograph
You and me in our first dance
Our eyes are closed
We’re lost in one sweet embrace
Since those days the world has changed
But our love remains the same
God knows we’ve had our share of saving grace
And I’m proud of all the blessings
You have given me
The mountains we have climbed to get this far
You’ve learned to take the laughter with the tears
After all these years
You make it feel brand new
After the fires that we walked through
Against the odds we never lost our faith
In our house we’ve made our home
Where our children all have grown
Precious moments time cannot erase
Make a living up and down the gypsy highways
Seasons that we’ve had to share apart
Somehow in my heart I always keep you near me
After all these years
After all these years
You stood by me
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed, believed in me
And you stood strong
Cause with our love there’s nothing left to fear
After all these years
After all these years
You stood by me
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You’ve sacrificed, believed in me
And you stood strong
Cause with our love there’s nothing left to fear
After all these years
Since he couldn’t express what he feels, he expressed his feelings through this song. At first, I didn’t know that it was a song until he told me to look and listen to it at YouTube. He said look for the song After All These Years by Journey. So, I did what he said. While listening to the song, tears fell from my eyes. I was already crying like river. It made me realize that my husband was proud of me and he loved me after all these years.
After that day, I complain less if hubby doesn’t express that much. I just wait until he wants to open up. And believe me, it made our relationship a little better each day.
Here is a video from YouTube, please listen…
Until now, I still cry each time I hear this. It makes me remember the years we have gone through.
oh wow….how sweet naman. ahay a. at least the love is still there. 😀
wow! pahilom2x lang diay xa te pero naa diay lalom na mga tnaguan nga gugma nga dli nya ma express…

May God continue to bless your marriage until the end of times….
God Bless ur family more and more….
Naku sis, we have the same dilemma and unlike you I used to complain before we got married because he wouldn’t talk. Pero now okay na kami, the lesser I expect from him, the better 🙂
