Silence is Golden - Happy Anniversary

First and foremost, allow me to declare that we got married when we were VERY young and innocent!

Yesterday was our 11th anniversary and.... we did nothing. In fact, we didn't even exchange more than 20 words.

No no! It's not that we are having problems or anything. Changunnie daddy has been suffering from a really bad case of sore throat and still can't speak. He has been drinking yogurt fruit shake. Our plan for a late night movie yesterday was canceled as he fell asleep under the influence of his medicine and I was tired from watching You Tube (I found this really funny Korean drama with English subtitles - Queen of Housewives)

We looked at each other most of yesterday without saying much (thanks to his sore throat, nothing remotely romantic at all). I think silence at the right time is indeed golden and helps to have a healthy relationship with your spouse. From my experience for all my friends, next time....

... when you are about to say something mean in order to win a fight over mostly trivial things, remain silent. It's easy to be verbally abusive but the cost to repair the damage is hefty

... when you are about to say something "funny" at the expense of your spouse, remain silent. If you think the pen is mightier than the sword, words from your mouth can be as potent as an a-bomb

... when you want to complain about your spouse for ignoring you, remain silent. Is he/she really ignoring you or just worn out after a long and bad day at work?

This year's note is a short one. Whilst I believe Silence is Golden, I also am a believer of Less is More. Changunnie daddy, don't complain if I eat most of your food and give you the "lady" portion. Less is more.

Happy Anniversary!
