“No roses, it’s still romantic/no gifts, I love you still/not today, there are 364 more days/no diamonds, love can still last” ---- what he wrote to me when participating in an activity called “Words Written on Valentines’ Day” in a shopping mall . It was in 2003, he was 26, and still single. Five years later, on 31st Oct. 2008, we met each other on Jiayuan.com. I always told him that he was waiting for me… He sent me email messages first. He had all the credentials, more than 50 blog posts and a long introduction ---- so long that I needed to keep pausing and rest my eyes. What impressed me most about him was his sincerity and our similar values. We both wanted to live a simple but happy life. He is handsome but not arrogant, so I wanted to get to know him better. I felt this man was different from others --- as he said, he is an introvert by nature, but with a smart and sunny disposition.
When we met for the first time, he took out a strange parcel with mysterious contents from his pocket and told me to immerse them in water.. Somewhat taken aback, I was wondering what kind of gift this could be. It turned out to be dry chrysanthemum petals!. It was the first time he gave me flowers, which you can’t buy from flower shops. Afterwards, I would often poke fun of this gift. I don’t mean to laugh at him. Actually, I am still touched when I think of it now. It’s very considerate of him.
It was in winter. It was so cold that I felt frozen. What’s worse, sometimes loneliness would overwhelm me since I lived in an apartment by myself. Luckily, he would call me at night. I would casually mention how cold I was, yet I didn’t expect him to take any special notice.. However, the day after that, at about 9:00 p.m, he gave me a call and told me that he was downstairs. I was so surprised since it was already quite late. It turned out that he came to bring me a thermos flask and a hot-water bottle. Deeply moved, I rushed downstairs immediately and saw him standing there with a thermos flask. Though he was freezing, he refused to admit it. I wanted to laugh but I couldn’t. I asked him why he came. “You told me you are cold”, he said. At that moment, I felt so warm.
It wasn’t long after that we got married. I suggested that we should travel to beautiful Lugu Lake during the honeymoon. He agreed, but he wanted a slightly different trip. Later, I found out that the different trip he was referring to was walking around the Lugu Lake in its entirety. I was shocked at first. 70 kilometers! Could I finish it? It turned out I had no reason to worry. He carried all the stuff and encouraged me all the way. The lake was so beautiful and there were very few tourists. The most romantic trip ever!
What’s the secret to training a good husband? Do husbands really need to be trained? Isn’t he good enough? Haha… I don’t think there are such secrets. All I did is to love all things about him, including his family. I think a couple should adapt to each other and tolerate each other when you live together. If you cherish him enough, then your husband will naturally become a good husband in your mind. As far as I am concerned, you do not obtain something from love and marriage, you put something in them. There is no expiration date for love. When you care for each other, your love will be alive every day.
