Marriage issues arise from different areas, mostly from some minor misunderstanding and miscommunication.

A lot of time these issues can be resolved when they are in their infancy stage. However, many couples choose to let them pass, still remember them and let them erupt over time.

Let me give an example. Let’s say a couple quarrels, what do they normally quarrel about.

And during their quarreling, do you realise most of the times they will bring out some past matters to reinforce their point of view.

Meaning to say to justify that they are “right” and their partners are “wrong”.

In fact, do we really know who is right or wrong?

And when couples do not know how to handle such conflicts properly, alot of times this marks the end of a relationship and couples choose to go their separate ways.

This pattern of conflict management is repeated in their next relationship and they cope in the same way, meaning they go their separate ways again.

How many of you reading this post had your marriage arranged?

I remembered I had a friend in University and his father specially arranged the daughter of his clients to meet up with him.

I know it is hard. How can one treat one’s mother-in-law as a friend when she is actually half of a mother?

I know it is hard.

It is even tougher to address her as “mom” when she is actually not.

After my episode of the 45 minutes lecture by my mother-in-law, we met up a couple of days earlier for a dinner.

Initially, the situation was very tense, tenser than the times I was just about to give my speech in front of 300 people.

You can never image that kind of pressure put on yourself, unless you have a mother-in-law like mine.

As my sister-in-law was telling us over the phone they were walking towards the restaurant, my adrenaline was pumping faster.

I couldn’t breathe.

There is this girl who is married but has no signs to show her status. Physically. She?s not wearing her wedding band.

The reason? She can?t bear to see the ring being ?washed? and scratched. Therefore, the wedding band is relinquished to the closet.

There are many people who chose not to put their wedding bands on display for various reasons. For this one, well I don?t fall into such a league.

Bird Icons:

They have a very talented artist Irene who designed and drew these bird icons. I feel they are fantastic and you may want to consider them for your wedding favors or even wedding gifts.

Wedding Ceremony:

In Asia, the wedding ceremony is totally different from those in United States.
