When you think you are in love, in your young and idealistic years,
we let our emotions prevail. We are usually attracted by the physical attributes not going deeper into the character, the past of the person and the prospective partner’s family. All these will have a bearing in a long, lasting relationship: marriage.
We can see the faults, but we try to overlook, thinking that we will be able to correct those faults.
It is wise to listen to what other people say, especially our loved ones. As an outsider, they would be able to perceive the kind of person one is.
In the Philippines, the usual advice is: go see the family and see how they interact with one another. Are they loving to one another, or respect is absent. Are the parents treated badly. If they are, expect that you would get the same treatment.
In addition to the other people’s advice, and your own perception, looking over a “tinted glass”, seek God’s advice. Pray earnestly for a God-fearing, God loving and responsible person.
We should not say recklessly that we would accept a person whether he/she is a:
Sinner or Saint
1
I’ll take you dear anyway you are,
a sinner or saint
Doesn’t matter what they say you are
I’ll have no complaint
2
Whether it’s foolish or wise dear
I’ll go along trustingly
They say the devil’s in your eyes dear
but you look like an angel to me
3
I won’t ask you what the past has been
The dreams you have had
All the blessing I’ll take with the sin
The good with the bad
4
Who cares what people say of you
Who cares what pictures they paint
All that I know is that I love
Saint or sinner, sinner or saint
Repeat 4
Who cares?
