She finally married him today. At the end of the wedding party, her mother gave her a newly opened bank savings passbook, with $1000 deposited in it. She told her, My dear daughter, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your married life. Whenever something good and memorable happens in your new life, put some money in. Write down what its about next to the amount. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. Ive done the first one for you today. Do the others with your husband. When you look back after many years, you will know how much happiness youve both shared. She shared this with him after getting home. Both of them thought it was a great idea and couldnt wait to make the next deposit! This is what the passbook looked like after a while: - 7 Feb: $100, his first birthday celebration after marriage - 1 Mar: $300, she gets a salary raise - 20 Mar: $200, vacation - 15 Apr: $2000, Shes pregnant! - 1 Jun: $1000, He gets the big promotion and so on... However, as the years went by, they began fighting and arguing over trivial things. They didnt talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty person in the world...There was no more love. One day she talked to her Mother. Mom, we cant stand it anymore. We have decided to divorce. I cant imagine how I decided to marry this guy! Her mother replied, Sure, thats no big deal. Just do whatever you want, if you really cant stand it. But before that, do one thing. Remember the savings passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all the money and spend it first. You shouldnt keep any record of such a poor marriage. She agreed with her mother. So she went to the bank, and was waiting in the queue to cancel the account. While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joyful moments came back to her. Her eyes were filled with tears. She left and went home. When she got home, she handed the passbook to her hubby and asked him to spend the money before getting divorced. So the next day, he went to the bank, and was waiting in the queue to cancel the account. While he was waiting, he took a look at the passbook record. He looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joyful moments came back to him. His eyes were filled with tears. He left and went home. He gave the passbook back to her. She found a new deposit of $5000. And a line next to the record: This is the day I realized how much Ive loved you throughout all these years. How much happiness youve brought me. They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back into the safe. Marriage is not a game, its not easy......but its beautiful........you will fight and argue, this is normal, because the both of you came from different background, different homes.....were raised by different parents, beliefs and moral......so you cannot expect that everything you say will be accepted by your spouse without their opinion being tendered first.......so before you give up, think back to the good times and to what brought you together in the first place... ......May God bless and keep your home.... #MIA
