I am not
much of a Telenovela fan as I am more likely to indulge myself in reading or
watching my all time favorite movies but "The Legal Wife" teleserye
got me hooked up day after day ( I mostly watch it in the net since I'm busy
working during the night), episode per episode and I think ABS CBN did a great
job with the concept of the story. Not only did it got me thinking of the worst
things that can happen in a relationship but it made me wonder if those people
who are into this kind of mess are thinking twice of backing out or did it get
into their partners'... The story had a lot of twists and although it was the
kind of twists that you would expect in a complicated situation such as Nicole's
(Maja Salvador) and Monica's (Angel Locsin), it carried a lot of moral lesson
as compared with some other teleseryes that I have heard of.
Although the
finale of the story was a bit disappointing, I couldn't think of any other
ending that would bring out the best of the lesson the story is trying to
convey. It served its purpose, although appalled, I think it's okay.
Lesson:
From what I
have observed, here are the lessons that a person might learn from the story:
·
Don't start
something that you will not be able to get out of.
·
If there is
temptation, try hard to resist, if unable to, just walk out and don't look back.
·
if you feel
that you are falling out of love with your partner, seek help, especially for
married people. There are people willing to help. Couples for Christ for
example for Catholics.
·
Partnership
is a lifetime "commitment" there will be times when we will feel
exhausted with a feeling that you need a new "environment", remember
that, environment is different from commitment, know what you need.
·
I get
disappointed with my husband too, I always make sure to count the strengths and
not focus on the weakness, coupled with prayer...
·
lastly,
beauty will fade, what matters is that you laugh together, share problems
together, do silly things together, be young at heart together, eventually as
time passes by and you get wrinkles all over, the only thing that will matter
are the laughter and the funny stories...
I give a
thumbs up to everyone who made this story possible... It left a good message
that will forever be a reminder of the danger of playing with fire... I hope
and pray that me and my husband will be able to resists such, and if ever time
sends out the test and if ever we won't make it, may the good Lord grant us the
wisdom to decide on what is best for everyone and not just for ourselves...
Kudos to everyone!
