Kasi kahit 197 IQ minsan nadadale pa din pag nakakatutung ng heartbeat or russians sa makitid na kalsada sa makati.

Nalaglag kasi ang IQ at natapakan,- tinunaw ng ininom na alak, bro.,- may pinangsundot pa yata...

That's when your abilities to whistle, breathe in between your teeth and chuckle come in handy.... Remember too, that you have a couple of feet you can use to walk away from it.

sabi nga ng mga single mom

mas masaya mag alaga ng anak kesa sa asawa

Bilib ako sa mga single Mom. I can never do it. Kaya mga housewife walang karapatan magreklamo sa buhay nila.

So single moms and single dads are not capable of being happy because they do not have a spouse? Just because they are not married means they are not "living"?

NOT ALL married people are happy BTW. And I say that for a fact as I have relatives and friends who told me straight that they are just staying for the sake of the children and/or financial complications.

People with "perfect" marriages should get off their high horse

Anyway, kung malalim ang pinaghuhugutan mo bro.,- we may probably understand.

Everyone has a story to tell....

OT: I just can't help it - (sean and fish - both Archers - have differing opinions - now that's diversity!)

Kuya...you have grand children? My mother says that will soon change...kahit di nya daw ako makita..wag lang ang apo..

Perfect marriage? There is no such thing, pero there are 3 main ingredients , love, respect and the most important, compromise

This is often misinterpreted since the love for spouse is different for the kind of love that is extended to the children. I think another way of saying it should be on how you should prioritize and it goes like this: spouse, children, then others. The "others" include your parents and in-laws. To prioritize your parents and in-laws over your spouse is to invite disaster, a divorce waiting to happen.

Imagine that you as a husband is discussing something to your wife. As you are about to arrive in a decision, your wife blurted out, "Let me ask Dad about it, he should know better." You as a husband will feel "disrespected". You want nothing less from your wife but respect.

Imagine this time, you as a wife. You and your husband are living with your in-laws. Your husband arrives and while you and your mother-in-law are watching TV, he goes straight to his mother and leans on her lap. And so jealousy is about to boil. You as a wife feels "loved less" by your husband. You want nothing else in this world but to be loved and be secured by your husband at all times.

These stories are not made-up stories just to strike out my point. Rather, this are true experiences of some close friends.

Let me add this, the parent to child relationship is somewhat "temporary" while husband and wife relationship is "permanent" as each of them made a vow.

It is sad to think that we do not fully understand what a vow is, and so that's why we have divorce.

Archer so true! I hope your son honors you as it is written. I'm sure he will feel that you didnt lack moreso even overflowing!

So far, a lot of the reply posts are NOT RESPONSIVE to the question as posed in the thread title.

Maybe the thread starter or moderator should just create a poll.
