"Kaunting friction"
However, just like other married couples, Kim and Fely also encountered some problems during the pandemic. In his interview, the TV personality opened up about having a bit of friction with his wife at some point."Marami akong pinagdaanan this pandemic. My wife and I, we have a good relationship. Kaso, first time naming nagkasama ng 24/7. So nagkaroon kami ng kaunting friction, only to find out na hindi lang pala sa'min nangyayari 'yon," he said.
Other couples can definitely relate to what Kuya Kim said. Because after being cooped up in the house with your spouse all day and all night, it's only normal that there will be conflict or some minor differences.
Couples fight. It's part of marriage. What's important is what you do to overcome those trials and stay together. And how you show your love in your partner's darkest times.
Kim shared that this episode happened at the height of the ABS-CBN shutdown. As he was driving home from work, he cried and poured his heart out to God.
"I was in my motorcycle, and I was crying to Him. I said, 'Lord, I worship you in the light. But now that it's dark, I continue to worship you. And I praise you and your praise shall forever be in my lips.' Nag-away kami ni misis noon eh. 'Di kami nag-uusap. On my bed, tinabihan ako ni misis. Without even talking, without even having to apologize, she just gave me a big, big warm hug. And that's when I felt na sabi ni Lord, 'Kim, relax ka lang. Nandyan ako palagi.'" he said.
