I-Marriage

church submits to Christ, so also wives should
submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also
loved the church and gave Himself for her.

Dear Lord,

Upon this project we realized more and by the aid of our

theology class we enhanced our knowledge and comprehension
about the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. May you direct us to the
righteous path and enlighten the dark and corrupt routes in which
we may fall into. Continue to give us strength, hope and love so
that we may be able to face trials and the world we are in. When
the day comes in which we too might Find a partner, build our
families, and enter marriage may you shower your guidance upon
us and continue to fortify the initial bonds of one another,
unending and fruitful service to you. We are sorry for the wrong
actions that we have done, we humbly ask for your forgiveness.
Thank you always for watching over us and keeping your undying
love in our hearts. To you God Almighty, the Greatest Architect
Amen

Concrete help as a
liberator
Our action intended to help the couple/family is to organize a 'bonding day' for them.
After the interview, we helped Mrs. Ong prepare lunch and set the table for all of us. We also brought
ingredients to make carbonara for all of us to eat later on.
After we ate lunch with the Ong family, which was very fun because of all the discussions we had with
them, we all went to their living room to watch a movie.
We watched 'Cheaper by the dozen 2' which is a family-oriented movie. It was fun watching this movie
with them with all the side comments and the laughter we had because of the film.
Then, when the movie ended, we ate the carbonara which was very delicious because of Mrs.Ong's
expertise in cooking italian recipes. After resting and chatting a bit with them, they taught us how to
play mahjong! It was very hard playing with them but still very interesting,
And as if that wasn't enough, we played team-up badminton with them at a nearby court. We played for
hours because it turned out that they were really good at playing badminton but had to stop because
the sun started to set.
After we came back at their place, we rested and talked to them about the whole day we had with them.
We really had fun bonding with the family and thanked them for allowing us to spend the day with
them.
