"Helena"

Viggo Balcita 9-A C.N. 3

When you are married things usually don't go as planned. No matter what happens

you will always be faithful to your wife/husband. Finding your special someone will happen

at some point some people meet their special someone when they were young and some

when they were a little bit older. Finding that someone is up to God. God will pair us up

which that someone. This is my "story" of how I met my wife and how I envision my self

10-15 years from now. My story begins like a platonic relationship but soon became a

romantic relationship like all marriages. This is how it goes:

I have been loving music ever since I was a small child. It was my hobby. Because

of school, I was not able to pursue my passion. After college, I was finally able to pursue

my hobby and join the music industry to form a band and that's where I met Helena. She

loved using the piano and violin and I loved using the guitar so because of that we quickly

became friends. We would perform together and just play our instruments all day. When

we were not playing our instruments, we would just watch television all day. It was really

relaxing.

After quite some time I decided to ask her to go out with me. To that she answered

yes. I decided to go somewhere simple so a picnic was perfect. We played and ate food

that day. We relaxed and talked about random topics not related to our lives whatsoever. I

then realized I really enjoyed that day and that opened my heart to what I really felt on the

inside. It was something warm and it made me feel different. This feeling that I was

experiencing was love.

After I explained these feeling to her we soon went into a relationship. This kind of

relationship was simple yet enjoyable. It really made me feel different. After a couple of

years, I finally proposed. We were both very religious so we decided to get married in a

church. During that 6-8 months of preparation, all I did was pray to God that this marriage

would become a success. 

After the months have passed the waiting was finally over and all I could think of is what will be our lives after this marriage. Our wedding took place in PCJ, the church where we always go for mass. We chose this church because it gave us so much memories that we could not pass the opportunity. We were made Man and Wife by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. The priest told us that we should always stay a couple and that's what we did. It was one of the most eventful day of my life.

Our married life was simple. We would not do any extraordinary events. We would

just stay home and live our life. We still go out for work and of course, Sunday Mass. We

would pray that we would want to have a simple life. It was great life. It made feel as

though some empty spot was covered, the only ones who could have done that was either

God or that special someone.

Reflection: This life I just explained was I want my married life to be. I want it to be simple

and religious. I know God has a plan for me and I shall not interfere. If my married life was

exactly the opposite of what I just described, I can't complain. God know what's best and if

he made my life like the one I just envisioned or the complete opposite, I will trust him

because he knows what makes us all happy. "A wife of noble character is her husband's

crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones." Proverbs 12:4. This noble

woman described in this passage will be picked by God for me. The reason why I am truly

inspired of this quote is because of how we should not always be independent and that we

need someone to "lean" on too. God made us so that we could spread good. I believe that

having a partner, wife or husband can help so much in spreading the Word of God. With

marriage, we are able to live our life as happily as we can. But then again, this is only my

prediction if the future.
