Feb is the month of love and even Pastor Kong has kick-started the month with a sermon on marriage. The married couples also had a chance to renew their vows during service today. Talking about love always makes one feel fuzzy and warm within. I guess it is the love between a couple who has been thru the highs and lows of life and are happily growing old with each other that is most heart-warming.
Saturday Straits Times had a special report on 8 couples whose love had lasted the test of time. The stories are all really touching but more so for those where one spouse had to become the caretaker of the other due to ill health and disease. I think that's the real test of love. When one becomes sick and perhaps half the person you used to know, yet you choose to stay on to love and care for the person.
"Young love is about wanting to be happy. Old love is about wanting someone else to be happy."
Psychologist Mary Pipher
