Pre-wedding counselling

Mr. Jang and I went to church at 9.30am this morning to start our first pre-wedding counselling class with PC. To be honest, I wasn't super enthusiastic about it cos I thought PC is more, erm, serious compared to PG who was conducting the classes for sis and OSH. I was a little worried about saying the wrong things, and having PC looked at us like we're mad.

Turns out, Mr. Jang, in his usual jovial self, did most of the talking. I glared at him a couple of times during the session to hint that "pssssssst... maybe we shouldn't tell PC about this!" but he happily went on to talk about everything under the sun. (Ok, maybe this is what the session should be like - open, honest, naked sharing - but still I was a bit more careful.)

And then came out-of-the-blue questions like, "how do you define marriage?" I went "er......" again coz' seriously I haven't really thought about this and was rather caught by surprise. To me, it was more like Mr. Jang proposed and I said yes, so let's get married! But I haven't really given a good thought to how I define marriage. Maybe just simply starting a family? I don't know if it's a dumb answer (?) but I have quite a simplistic view towards this.

Thereafter came the temperament test. Apparently, Mr. Jang's perception of me is quite in line with my perception of self whereas his perception of himself is rather different from my perception of him. PC joked and said that perhaps it's time for me to "wake up" some ideas about him. Okie. Funny.

At the end of the day, Mr. Jang said that we shouldn't take the test results too seriously, cos i) he might have misunderstood the questions and ii) PC also said that we shouldn't read too much into the details cos the indicators have to be read in totality.

I am not affected. Maybe just worrying too much like I always do. Afterall, although Mr. Jang said that marriage shouldn't change anything between us, I still feel that it's a huge step into the "unknown". But I know we'll be alright cos God is with us! And as long as we keep Him as the first priority, we'll be fine!
