My respect to her. Even during the times she was so criticized by her detractors (mostly politicians and big names in industry)my respect was always on her. Her child did not take the too much issues on her but look at her, still strong and face the people with dignity. My famous line from her was not her Pick Up Lines but being a mother “joyful noise”– she describes the baby when they adopted a baby and bring in their home and said she miss the joyful noise.

May Senator Senator Santiago rest in peace. Many felt sorry about her death.She is very useful and important to Philippines.I salute this brave lady, strong in determination and never was she afraid to fight all ills in the Philippine politics, and her brilliance shone like a star whose light never dims.

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

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.

My warmest congratulations for having that solid tie with your wife and family.You have a very strong relationship.The good thing is you are both educators and if parents are teachers , they are also good fathers and mothers to their children.Cheers!

First and foremort I have bend my head so low in respect to a great marriage.Your announcement in church of the three important words after 44 years is another milestone. Not yet man,raising children from age zero to above 30 is not a mean achievement. No,making most of your children have their own famililies make you a super dad. Hail to the dad of the year!

Wow am so moved with your story of persistence and challenges. In this year’s that we live in I
It’s so unusual to hear that a couple have loved together for 15years and overits usually a maximum of 10 years and that’s it. Am moved and encouraged that marriage a do work for those who want them to work. It takes a lot of courage and determination to go as far as you have. Let me just congratulate you on your 44 years of marriage that’s a milestone. How do you keep up with the vortship part? Do you take her out on weekend nights or still but flowers how do you do it. I would like to have a heart and time to do that for my spouse and grow old together. Maybe you shed some light on the courtship part could be a big lesson for most of us am sure. Thanks for sharing your story and I wish you more loving years together.

What else can be more happier than being in love always to the person we always be with. 44 years are already golden to me, that will never doubt the pure love in the hearts.

I know, sometimes, the rocky road is within you but what is important is how you walk through to that path of your marriage life and you have proven how love can conquer all the trials and problems in your marriage. Many families should envy your marriage, but more than that, we should follow your footsteps.

Yes, you say right that marriage is the second name of mutual understanding between husband and wife. Marriage is also called the of soul compromise. There are many benefits of marriage first you find a life partner for talking day and night. I say woman is a talking bird on earth who sings for husband and children for whole day.

As you’ve probably heard, nearly half of all marriages now end in divorce, leaving bitter spouses and confused children in their wake. Don’t let this happen to you! Whether your marriage is going through tough times or is experiencing marital bliss, or even if you’re not yet married but considering it, here’s some free but proven advice to help your marriage last.

It’s straight from God, the one who created and ordained marriage! If you’ve tried everything else, why not give God a chance? Follow the keys in this guide, and you can secure your home.

Continue (or perhaps revive) the courtesies of courtship in your married life. Successful marriages do not just happen they must be developed. Don’t take each other for granted, or the monotony that results will destroy your marriage.

Keep love growing by expressing love for one another or it will die, and you will drift apart. Love and happiness are not found by seeking them for yourself, but rather by giving them to others. So spend as much time as possible doing things together if you would get along well. Learn to greet each other with enthusiasm. Relax, visit, shop, sightsee, eat together. Don’t overlook the little courtesies, encouragements, and affectionate acts.

Surprise each other with little gifts or favors. Try to “outlove” each other. Don’t take more out of marriage than you put into it. Divorce itself is not the greatest destroyer of marriage, but rather, lack of love. Given a chance, love always wins.
