PART 04 - INTO RELATIONSHIP So in 1980 we began our serious relationship. But she made it very clear to me that she will not let me take her to church. She was a very proper girl. That’s what I like about her – no nonsense. In church we were not to sit together because she believed that when we go to church we go to worship God and should not be distracted with each other. After all we were seeing each almost every day during the week. I would love to say “and we had our relationship happily ever after!” but it would be just a fairy tale, isnt it? One of the reasons why I was attracted to her was her honesty, simplicity, and spirituality. She simply saw in me a man who has a call of God on his life. She took the risk to start a serious relationship with a man with a call and a passion for the Lord. I did a three months stunt in Bible School in Singapore before I met her. I guess she fell in love not only with the “handsome dude” but also the man with a cause and a call. Did she know that it will not be an easy road ahead? Did she know that life would be one big sacrifice? I think she knew full well when she took the plunge. Really, six months into the relationship she began to see my true color – I was not as spiritual as she thought I was. I used to say that when she first met me she saw a halo on my head but months later and two feet firmly plunged into the relationship she saw horns growing between my halo and spotting a tail behind me (It’s meant to be a joke so please pause and laugh – Ha Ha). Seriously I was such a disappointment to her. I cannot even count how many times I made her cry. I was a very insecure guy and I lashed out at her whenever she tried to correct me or suggest to me things I don’t agree or not happy to hear or discuss. I would oftentimes reduce her to tears. I was really a mean guy. I still don’t understand how she could tolerate me, could still love me, and carried on the relationship for many years to come before finally said “yes” to marry me.
