“I love you” I have told this once again to my wife in front of the congregation as we culminate our Family Week celebration. In the first we became friends, I told her of that overused phrase in secret under the Mabolo tree where nobody is around. This time, I say it in public after 44 years of faithful and happy marriage.
It was a whole family activity we have had at that time. My family, my wife and I joined the half-hour street parade. Then we had a great posterity pose for a family picture. We presented an entertainment number in the opening program and we’re the last to present. Before we did, I gave a short background of our love life.
I called my wife to come in front and helped me to hold our family picture in a tarpaulin. I presented my 6 children one by one and introduced them. Only my eldest son and 3rd daughter were not present. My son is living far from us. It is impossible for him to travel while my daughter is working abroad. They entertained the audience with their dancing to their tune of the “Trumpets” by Sak Noel and Salvi.
The only two secrets I told them why I had reached 44 years of married life that long. One is courting. I court my wife every day for I have been doing it before when we first met. And we got acquainted each other and later became a high school sweetheart. What it worked in more 44 years ago, it also works as we live as husband and wife. And the last one is communication. If we fail to communicate each other, we’re nothing. We don’t know what is happening to us. It is communication that makes us alive and makes us conscious of what is happening between us.
Finally, Since God is love, He gives my wife to me. Thus He gives her to me. No wonder why that we’re both born in the same month, the same date and the same year. In short, we’ve synchronous birthdays for we’re meant each other to love and beloved for time and eternity.

Courting even after 44 years of marriage is indeed the secret of a happy marriage. I hope many will read your blog. I am sharing it on FaceBook
Thank you @bestwriter for that. Now it is no longer a secret to have reached those long years of married life. We took as great challenges to overcome until we manage to adjust ourselves and maintain the harmony of our relationship.
We have various obstacles to surpass, trials to hurdle. The most challenging among those things are the people whom you meet every day, the people within your family circle. But through calmness and serenity of a well-being inspired by the Lord's examples, we have made it. We charge all the downs and disgust to experience. God conquers all so to speak.
@nakaitakona13 I have written a blog on TinyCent based on this blog

I do not believe if you say that both are born in the same year, same month and the same date. How can it be?
I do agree wit you. It is the communication that keeps the entire thing in an activity. It makes the process to continue . The more you communicate with each other the more opened the doors of love. This is the greatness of expression that makes the communication great and lively. Mere communication will be dull. It should be spicy and sweet. Everything goes perfectly with a spicy communication and gives an opportunity to open ourselves freely and frankly. It removes all the hurdles in life and makes it a heaven to live in.
What else can be more meaningful in this life but to find the fulfillment of feelings. We loved the love that also loving us. Living with him/her for the rest of our life. Doing the things that make her happy and she is doing the doing that makes you happy. Love is the happiness that can only be felt by our heart when that someone is also loving us.
I am happy to read this kind of happiness.
Wow you're is an inspiring story. 44years is not little time for anyone. You amaze me that you still court your wife even in marriage tell that to th3 generation of today no one will even want to think of taking your word for it. We are living in times where love has become a game of catch and Chase then release. No one seems to be taking marriage with the seriousness that it so demands. But am just smiling as I read your story it's challenging to some of us who have not yet jumped into that river of marriage. I have always believed that marriage can be a beautiful thing if understood. We are told that man don't oftenly tell their wives that they love them orally all the time but it's shown through actions. So you are just confirming it to me that a man doesn't have to keep telling a woman that he loves her all the time. You have also talked about communication which is key to keeping aartiage or a relationship going. Nowadays that has become like a nightmare to many couple because oneay feel like that are being bothered with questions, the other may feel like talking too much is not a good thing. But the truth is talking clears out any doubts that one may have about the spouse and it also brings out the real feelings of an individual thanks for sharing your lovely story.
