Husband and wife love each other through small daily actions

“Nothing big is needed, just that he always remembers what I like to drink,” Bich Ngoc shared how she feels her husband's love for her.

Bich Ngoc used to believe that true love had to be associated with romance and surprises: a bouquet of bright flowers on a special day, a candlelit dinner or carefully prepared gifts. But after many years of marriage, she realized that love does not necessarily have to be noisy or brilliant.

When they were still in love, Ngoc took anniversaries very seriously. If her boyfriend forgot their anniversary, Valentine's Day, or didn't prepare properly for a special occasion, she would get angry.

To her at that time, love meant understanding to the point that without saying anything, the other person already knew what she wanted. But when she got married, Ngoc realized that love was not a constant test where she always expected her husband to guess her every thought and desire.

Instead of keeping quiet and feeling disappointed when thinking her husband was inconsiderate, she chose to gently remind him: "Honey, next week is our wedding anniversary, let's go out to eat?". She also no longer expects surprise gifts.

Instead of expecting something special and then being disappointed when her husband doesn’t choose the gift she had in mind, she chose a simpler way: telling him what she wanted. And then, the joy was no longer measured by surprise, but by sincerity.

If before, Ngoc expected sweet wishes, now she feels love through small daily actions.

It was when her husband rubbed her back whenever she complained of being tired, or simply when he stopped by her usual shop to buy her a cup of milk tea with the flavor she liked, with just the right amount of sugar. That cup of milk tea contained her husband's concern for her interests and habits.

Ngoc used to think that love had to be brilliant, had to have memorable moments to keep. But after being together long enough, she realized that the important thing was not what was on an anniversary, but on normal days, how her husband loved her.

It was when her husband was willing to wake up early to cook breakfast for her when she was tired, check the weather forecast to remind her to wear more clothes when it got cold. Sometimes, he quietly arranged her bag, put in a mint candy that he knew she liked, or a small umbrella in case of sudden rain.

It was when he gave her the best food on the table. It was when he stopped by the familiar sticky rice shop just to buy the exact portion of sticky rice with gac fruit that she liked. It was when he turned on the hot water heater in the winter so she could take a bath as soon as she got home. It was when he called to ask if she wanted to buy anything else every time he went to the supermarket.

Love doesn’t need grand things, it doesn’t need expensive bouquets of flowers or elaborately arranged romantic dinners. Sometimes, love for Ngoc is simply a cup of milk tea, just the way she likes it, with just the right amount of sugar. And that’s sweet enough.
