United Haris & Wenny by Juvenco

I always thought that love towards each other was as clear as plain english, but instead it came across as Swahili. Hahaha. I believe those early years of a marriage sometimes were marked by this uneasyness around each other. I’d like to think that most of newlyweds will experience the same thing. On these early phase, we usually felt drained and somewhat confused. Here we were making desperate attempts to love and we still felt empty. It was easy during the dating years, why so tough now?

People give and receive love differently. The premise can be summed up like this: the act of showing love can be displayed by giving gifts, quality time, words of affirmation, physical touch, and acts of service. We typically give love the same way we like to receive love, but that our partner may have a different ‘love language’. This is where relationships can run into problems.

Sometimes you would think your partner love flowers, but then she would think that flowers is a waste of money. So depends on the person, you should try understanding their love language. They might appreciate a fancy dinner date rather than flowers, but if you’re in doubt, definitely do both.

Speaking in your spouse’s love language does not come natural. Here’s where our hashtag comes in handy… #trueloveinpicture. Inside marriage, you get to choose to be courageous, to love each other the way your spouse best receives love. I get it, love is risky, vulnerable, and scary at times. But love it truly the greatest motivator in this world.

Haris & Wenny inspires me, I do hope they inspire you all, too, as their true love in the following pictures.
