To FEAR Love is to Fear Life Itself
by http://www.footprintsfilmworks.com

It is said that when one loves another the joining of hearts form an embrace
to last an eternity. Love, which plays a vital role in couples lives form the
foundation to keep things simple and beautiful.


As Parents, as children, as
mothers and as fathers we always have that "Special" feeling for our loved ones.

The relationships that we encountered yesterday, today, tomorrow and the future
leave footprints in our lives that perhaps changes our thoughts, our ideas, our
perceptions and our viewpoints about the people we love.


Footprints Filmworks your favorite community paper always
puts that little extra effort when we release our "Champ of the month"
Stories from all over South Africa flooded our mailboxes, email
addresses, telephone lines and post boxes telling us to post their "I love you"
messages on our forums.

The story that was well written and well told becomes
our champ.

As the Month of May is our Footprints Filmworks Couple of the
month
this is a tale that tells of perpetual bliss, never-ending passion, bubbly
personalities and buzzing heart moments. Time, Space, Matter and Energy WILL
ALWAYS play a vital role in showing ones affection to ones loved one.

The F O U R
variables mentioned could perhaps be a blueprint to follow in leading an
awesome lifestyle with good children, passionate lovemaking, fancy Ferrari's and
beautiful homes.

I would know what I'm taking about as I have been married for thirty years.
In this thirty years I have grown up Eight Children, Survived with my husbands
bad habits, lead my own personal business and well lets just say I'm still
surviving. The day he proposed to me perhaps changed my life in many respects. I
was a dropout from the University of Wits studying my Law Degree, and here came
Prince Charming on his white horse who swept we away.

I am from a humble Indian
community and my husband is from a wealthy cocoa merchant family. We had dreams
and desires that we went through and challenges that we faced.In
Todays Times the Barbie doll wives have no clue of what it means to be
a wife. All they interested in is quick meals with no love, slap dash
lovemaking, untrained lectures to their children and moaning and groaning to get
the latest clothes in the market.

Although I have been married for 30 years my husband is quite the Romeo who
flirts with his office staff, plays stupid games with me to win my attention,
prank call me during my busy day at home and sometimes he even tries to bully me
into doing things I would normally never do. Indian wives perhaps have
some waking up to do when it comes to showing their love to their loved ones. I
have many of my friends who complain to me how bad their husbands are, and even
worse they try to compare their husbands to my husband.


My husband would
probably drown them when it comes to love.
It took me almost one year to make my decision to marry him. I received many
proposals from people showing interest in me, but hey, why should I complain, I
am happy, I am smiling, I am enthusiastic and and I am successful.


Growing up
our eight children was a mission on its own as the bunch of brats always needed
my attention for small things which perhaps limited my growth as a person.



Glancing through the list of Champs on the Footprints Filmworks
website I was thrilled by the fact that famous faces including Nazeer
Noormohamed, Yusuf Abramjee, Afsana Gani and Sakeena Joosub were mentioned. The
story about the Imaam impressed me as I always send my husband to this Imaam to
check him up if he is cheating or doing things that I would normally never
approve off.


I took my husband, lets call him Mr. X to this Imaam who handed my
husband a "Thavis" which is a religious necklace that watches over him twenty
four hours per day. This was because I would know what he is up to as well
as keeping a "watchful eye" on him.
I don't mean to bully my husband but s o m e t i m e s I have to take matters
in my own hand. This fancy new era of love is long lost. My secrets of loving my
husband include saying "I Love You" everyday, putting that extra effort into his
wellbeing and health, making sure that the children do their homework before
bed, and OH YEAH looking desirable for him even though I am 50 years.

When I spoke to Managing Director for Footprints Filmworks Omar
Abdulla he was amazed by the mere fact that one woman can bear eight
children. He laughed and joked with me asking me secrets that I would never
share.

Perhaps the Ubuntu teaching of South Africa he should read to get a better idea of
what
I'm talking about.
What I learnt in my thirty years of marriage is always stick with your
partner, through the dark days, through the sunny days, through the rainy days
and even through the tough times.


We have always had money in our bank accounts
and sometimes we feel that we should spoil ourselves as well. We got so caught
up bringing our children up, we sometimes lost focus on our love. Our love,
which is our foundation for our marriage is practiced everyday to ensure
appreciation of our love.


At one stage I walked out on my husband, just to teach
him a lesson if he can survive without me. You wont believe how fast the
puppydog came running to me.


As my duty as a community person, I feel that it is my duty to empower the
youth of tomorrow with my wisdom, ideologies, weird remarks and writing to try
to influence the community in a positive direction.


Perhaps not all mothers,
wives, husbands and fathers will agree with the way I lead my family, my home,
my community and my friends, but what I can say is I have done my best.
