Since this is our (JEsu and Lalaine) blessing blog. We would also like to share the blessings in our life as a married couple.
We've been married for almost 6 years now. Imagine a Filipina married to a Malaysian ( onTamil descent) and living in Thailand. Would that spell a 'disastrous' mix of culture, language and tradition? I thought that I would really have a difficult time adjusting to cross cultural marriage in a cross cultural context. That's why I didn't want to marry a foreigner in the first place ( read our Love Story for more details). But surprisingly, 6 years just went passed without any major struggle in cultural adjustments. We just blended real well without me even realizing sometimes, that Jesu is of a different culture and we're in a totally different country.
When Jesu and I look back and talk about these things, we are always grateful to God for giving us his grace and love in our marriage. One very important aspect in our marriage life that we found important is through our coming together in prayer and study of God's word. We try to have our regular time to do a couples devotion.
With this said, I would like to regulary share in this blog, portions of our couples devotion. We're using the book from Dr. James Dobson, Night Light. It's a very good material with true to life story, insights, questions to be asked from each spouse and application too. I'll be posting this every Sunday together with my personal comments and reflection. Please feel free to use this material too as you and your spouse come together in prayer and devotion.
