結婚紀念日

二○○七年　九月二十八日


時間過得真快，一轉眼，我已經結婚四年了耶～ 單身的時候，已婚的朋友跟我說：妳不要傻了，婚前婚後真的差很多。結婚以後，未婚的朋友則說：看妳這麼幸福的模樣，人家也好想結婚喔！

Time passed so fast, I've been happily married for 4 years. When I was a single, friends who were married said: Don't be silly! It's totally different in life before and after getting married! Now I am married, friends who are single told me they wish to get married for my life after getting married is even more joyful and happy than I was a single.




我該說什麼呢？！其實，婚前婚後真的差很多！老公的工作地點從台南的奇美醫院變成台中的中山醫大，光是空間距離就縮短了將近兩百公里，這樣算差很多吧！

O_o What should I say?! Well, it's indeed different before and after marriage. The distance of Michael and me was shortened from 350 km to 160 km for he quit his job in Tainan Chi-May Medical Center and moved to Taichung Chung-Shan Medical University. Isn't it a BIG difference for us?!

差不多的是我們的生活型態，一週最多三天住在同一個屋簷下；每個週末回公公婆婆家，共享一家人的幸福晚餐。結婚後的生活也依然忙碌精采。我們有各自的朋友與興趣，也有許多共同的朋友與嗜好。不住一起的時候，生活很自在；住在一起的時候，生活很融洽。

I think there was no big difference of our life style before and after getting married. We have 2 or 3 days a week living together. Weekend is the family day, we have dinner time with my parents-in-law every Saturday. While living together, we enjoy and share many things with each other. The other days, we live individually in two cities and have personal life, friends and interests. Living by oneself, life goes on an easy and comfortable way; living together, life is a harmony.




朋友們都會好奇，兩頭獅子一起生活，不會各執己見吵翻天嗎？不會吧～不要忘了，我們可都是有邏輯講道理的研究人員呢。當然會有意見相左的時刻！不過，「愛、信任、尊重」讓我們在表達自己想法的當下，也不曾忘記聆聽對方的見解。所以，有話好說唄～

Friends also are curious when Michael and I have a difference of opinion on something, whether we argue with each other or not. I dare not say "No, we never had a quarrel"; however, I am sure we did not spend time on issues that are not logical or reasonable. Because of love, trust, and respect, the moment we express self opinions, we listen to each other simultaneously.


【後記】我想我是充滿感激的。在感情的路上跌跌撞撞，我不曾因為愛情引起的哭泣或憂傷而不再相信愛情，或失去探索愛情的勇氣，這全都要歸功於家人給我完全的支持與信任吧～已入不惑之年的我，不管別人覺得我天真或孩子氣，我還是要大聲的說：夢想有理，愛情萬歲！
