The oak tree and cypress trees cannot grow well if they are too close. They can be together and yet strong only if they each have their own growing space. This is what some people, who are married, forgotten that although they are united in marriage, they need to give their better half breathing space too.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing those lines with us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438022669660859966.post-92057455549703658362009-02-04T23:28:00.000-08:002009-02-04T23:28:00.000-08:00Hi Shawie, I found you when you left a comment aft...Hi Shawie, I found you when you left a comment after my comment on Mel's "The Promise" Blog. You have a beautiful blog and a beautiful attitude. You should write a book about growing up on an island where everyone knows you. That is a very alien way of life to most of the world! What a big adjustment you had when you moved to California! I am reading a great Christian book right now called "Sacred Marriage-What if marriage was meant to make you Holy more than make you happy"? ITS WONDERFUL! I also bought the same author's book "Sacred Influence" that tells the incredible influence that a woman has on her husband and on others in the world. So nice to meet you!<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Sheila/BluebirdyBluebirdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443245849821593007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438022669660859966.post-71063591264422866952009-02-04T12:28:00.000-08:002009-02-04T12:28:00.000-08:00Every married couple has days like that.

Next time, just tell your husband you are lonely and want his attention :)Spicybugzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09434585300810225440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438022669660859966.post-10477264286552339212009-02-04T10:13:00.000-08:002009-02-04T10:13:00.000-08:00oh i so love the poem! very nice and real.i think ...oh i so love the poem! very nice and real.<BR/><BR/>i think men are really from mars! haha! i have the same case too with my man, even if we're both pinoy. mga lalake talaga, walang-wala sa pagka-sensitive at emotional naten! <BR/><BR/>cge na nga, happy valentine's dyan sa inyo!""rarejonRez""https://www.blogger.com/profile/03261136854557692498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438022669660859966.post-69966356738510285872009-02-04T03:03:00.000-08:002009-02-04T03:03:00.000-08:00That's what love is forgive and forget :) Enjoy yo...That's what love is forgive and forget :) Enjoy your valentines sha!SHIELAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06593410749110408625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438022669660859966.post-14860228589780476732009-02-03T23:04:00.000-08:002009-02-03T23:04:00.000-08:00You are very fortunate and blessed to have a very ...You are very fortunate and blessed to have a very understanding husband who is working very hard for a living and he understand your "carino." Women are entitled to a breathing spell or a bad mood day but just don't overdo it. I hope you will patch up your petty misunderstanding. Always put the Lord at the center of your relationship and at the center of your family and everything will be fine. Thanks for the interesting post.
