Sacrificing a Family Member…Would you?
I just heard from my friend that she is going to give away her child…Her child is 6 years old this year and the reason is…because her father-in-law is moving soon…
I am talking about my friend’s pet dog…To her, the dog is like a family member…
Many times, in life, we have to trade-off something that was once important for us…
It could be our pet…or many other things that we once love or enjoy having.

Hmmm…let me see…ever since my wedding, I used to read about 3 200-pages books in one week, now I read about 1 book in 3 weeks.
Time had to be used for spending time with my wife, helping her with the work she brought from home and so on…
Being the wife and having physically moved into elsewhere from somewhere that they once called home, the wives spent less time with their own parents and siblings.
Even, time spent with friends is less. When we were younger, I would ask my buddies to accompany me to go watch movies or go dining.
Now…my priority has been shifted to my home…
I’m not saying that friends or families are not imporatant…they still are…
It is just that as we grew up, we will find oursleves moving away from some things and closer to other things…
Life is full of changes…whether we want it or not…whether we like it or not…whether we are ready or not…
nobody likes many changes in their lives…we all wish to stay comfortable and safe…
Brides and grooms had been facing changes ever since they started off their relationships as boy-girl friends…
The boy will have less time for his army friends or buddies. The girl will have to spend less time at home and more time with her boyfriend.
Different gender will responsd differently. If you are a guy, you may want to read this book to understand ladies.
Once committment sets in when the boy pops the “wedding matter” to the girl’s parents, changes will start to swirl again…this time in bigger volume…
There will be commitment to the girl for eternity…the girl may need to have less fun and become more husband-oreintated…
Once her parents give the green light, the couples will have to plan, decide and execute their planS together…do more things together…plan their wedding PLUS their family together…
Other matters to be planned include finances, children, education, family trip and so on.
Others less subtle one but more disruptive if not communicated properly are values, beliefs, past hurts, fears, expectaions and perceptions…
The latter ones are more importantly…but many times, they are preferred to be hidden and “kept elsewhere”.
We always experience changes. Some every day..others every moment…
It is not easy….
