because he loves you
I think it's good to have some friends who are much older than you. Older is mostly wiser, really. Their insights and views on matters can be inspiring. And since they've been around longer, they really do know more than you. At least on most matters.
2 of my closest workmates are 5 years my senior and another is 24 years older than me. 2 of them are married with kids.
I love love the talk sessions we have at work. Although sometimes they talk about things that i'm clueless about. Like the things that make it so expensive to owe a car nowadays. Or HDB-related matters.
But most of the time, they talked about interesting matters. Like their pregnancy ordeals, their married lives and how they first met their husbands. And other random topics.
There was once when they talked about the things they asked their husbands to get for them, when they were pregnant. One of them asked for fishball noodle BUT without the fishball. Ok, i don't know if it's only me but i find the request rather odd. Fishball noodle, without fishball. Just imagine asking the stall owner that. And see what reaction you will get. The husband actually got for her that ok. Ok, so maybe there's a possibility that he took out the fishball himself before giving it to her. But i'd like to think that he ordered the fishball noodle, without fishball. Because it's more romantic that way. Risking being ridiculed at by stall owner, just so your pregnant wife gets what she requested. How sweet.
Err, maybe im making too much a big deal of this matter. My point is, you can actually show your care, love and concern towards someone by just doing the little things. You don't always have to spend big bucks and get gifts to make one happy. It's usually those little things and actions that capture the hearts of your loved ones. Things that make them remember you by. Like how Nisa leaves me 'I love you' messages on my notice board. And how my lovely friends call me up to check on me or when they sense that something is bugging me.
So one day, when you get pregnant and requested your husband for ONLY purple-coloured Smarties chocolate. And he went an extra mile by presenting you those purple smarties in a purple bowl just because he knows you'll like it that way. Doing things not only when asked, knowing the person well enough to differentiate the person's likes and dislikes. During those moments, you'll know it's love.
