Nuts and Bolts

Tubby and I are regular shoppers of the big blue and yellow box called IKEA since our days in Singapore. However, most of the times, our main purpose then was for their swedish meatballs and chicken wings and princess cake and of course the cheap ice-cream. 

IKEA has contributed to furnishing countless homes around the world, including our current lovely home. It is also the place that has most seen us or maybe only me got frustrated and angry :P

The main problem is that there are just so many decisions to make at IKEA. Plus, we are always bound to get distracted. We're talking about 20,000 plus products here!!!!

If you've been dating someone for a while but aren't sure if he's the right one? Buy a piece of furniture from IKEA and fix it up together. You'll see how you both handle stress together, and how you react to each other in a stressful situation. Thank God that tubby is a very patient, smart and systematic person. He would tear off all the packaging and stack it neatly and accordingly at one corner then follow the instruction manual, fix it up step-by-step. I am the blur one and got frustrated easily most of the time. He was the one leading me all the time. I just had to follow and cooperate well.

Guess that's why we got married. :P

Tubby: To build a family, you must first build your home.
Mik: To build a home, you must first be able to fit all these stuffs into your car boot.

Marriage that survives IKEA can survive anything. [just saying for laugh]

cheers

Ephesians 5:22-33

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 

23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 

24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 

27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 

28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 

29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 

30 for we are members of his body. 

31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”

32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 

33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
