Many times I wonder why some newly-formed couples can be so much in love while the other couples who have been married for a long time felt tortured by their relationship.

I am not sure what your thoughts are but I have my answer.

The word is commitment.

For couples who have yet married, there is not much of commitment.

They meet barely for a few hours, at most 9 hours a day and off they go back to their own home.

During these times, they display the best side of themselves. They cast their ugly side behind their masks. They just need their good side to make their relationship work.

All men are such idiots.

They have always thought that to make their wives happy, they just need to splurge lavish gifts on their wives.

Is it really true?

I strongly disagree that marriage build on such foundation can last.

Most of the times, there is no need to give expensive gift to my wife (even though there are some special times we need to spend more).

I reallise that the most beautiful gifts are always the simple gift which I can do it yourself.

It can be done by you, siad by you, written by you.

What is the key?

It has to be from you and that is all it needs to make the gift special.

One of them is definitely writing relationship poems.

I am no writing person and I can’t compose poems.

In fact, I hate Literature during my secondary school days and I hate those times writing poems.

Now, somehow I feel guilty I should have mastered the art of poem composition well so that I can write lovely relationship poems for my wife.

But this is what I can do…

I was thinking really hard for the past two days.

Before marriage, we are accountable only for ourselves.

After marriage, we are accountable to everyone else.

As the husband, I really feel the stress. I wonder do you feel it?

Yes, I’m talk from the men’s perspective.

What if the husband is no longer around?

How will my family be affected?

I was looking through online to get more ideas about insurance.

In fact there are many from auto, home, life to health insurance.

Let’s explore abit on each part.

I was looking at my own marriage and reflecting on where I want it to be in 5 years’ time.

How can I see the future? I must be insane.

If we can plan for our studies, career and holidays, why can’t we plan for our marriage.

Would I want my marriage to be just like anyone else?

Wife and husband work in the morning and they only get to see each other after their work.

Wife and husband deposit their young kids in child care centre and they miss a whole lot of their growing up.

Wife and husband are drained mentally and physically due to raising up of their kids.

And they feel strangled.

Is this what you want for your marriage life?
