Thank you for this excellent suggestion. However, I've decided to be unpopular.
I am far from perfect, and so I have a lot of shortcomings. One is I have a short fuse and sometimes unreasonable. My wife in this situation will keep her mouth shut. This in effect will "douse the fire". I in return will "court" her again. Yes, you have read it right. We husbands should unceasingly court our wives. To stop is to solicit disaster and invite "unwanted" guests like a querida, a recipe for divorce.
Another is I am not a good father, far from the ideal father that I know. I spent about five years overseas and so I missed a lot of time with my kids. We argue that it is not the quantity of time but quality of time that we spent that matters. In contrast to our English teachers, "quality" is spelled as QUANTITY by kids. Our teachers can only agree.
So I remembered two years ago, I asked for forgiveness to my kids. Take note that I didn't apologize nor simply said sorry. I used the word "forgive". To apologize is that you present yourself at equal footing to the other party but to ask for forgiveness is totally different. You go below your station and humbly enough, face the other at his mercy and ask for forgiveness. The next thing I did is ask them this, "How can I improve as a father?" This was the time that I told them to tell me "everything" that they ever want to and all things that they can remember that I have hurt them in any way. I gave them my word that I'll never talk back and I'll do nothing except to listen to them. I'm so hurt and so ashamed but I kept my promise.
Last February this year, my wife, in teary eyes, said that never have I apologized to her. I got the shock of my life. Never have I realized how selfish I am!
And so these are SOME of the reasons why I have failed miserably as a husband and at the same time as a father.
This I guess, I should stop. I can no longer afford to be more than a jerk.

April 30th, 2018 01:24 AM #184Ganito yan lalo na if you look sa history.
Ngayon puro asawahan ang babata pa. After college, ilan years lang kasal na agad. Ano alam nila sa love sa ganyan age. So jan papasok parents to "arranged"
The best eh arranged marriage. But im not saying na every marriage should be arranged ah.
Kaya ko nasabi ko marry only if yung partner mo for life eh makakatulong sa purpose mo.
Purpose = work.
Kasi kung asa-asawa lang dahil ganda face and seksy eh in time kakasawa din. Maghahanap ka ng mas fresh yung hindi pa "nalawayan"
Wag din asa-asawa dahil gold-digger / oppurtunista gusto mangjackpot ah. Yan ang magulo.
