Happy Anniversary

 
It was fate that brought us together 5 years ago.  And today, we are back at where we first met at SAM - Singapore Art Museum.  It has brought back so much fond memories.  Our first "Hi" and Smile...  Oh well, time really flies.  I still remember my fiance was so the very shy kind of guy and that left a deep impression in me.  His persistence and sincerity touches my heart and I'm so glad we hit off so well.


Since the day we've met I cry a little less, laugh a little harder and smile all the more. Happy 5th Year Anniversary Hubbs! #thankgodifoundyou

As we move on to a new phase of life together, it's very important we make a conscious effort to learn to become a better person for our partner.  I came across this article, "Why Marriages Go Wrong." The following is a questionnaire from that article. You may find it worthwhile to answer these questions, giving yourself 10 points for each question you can answer affirmative.
For Husbands
1. Do you still "court" your wife with an occassional gift of flowers, with remembrances of her birthday and wedding anniversary, or with some unexpected attentioned, some unlooked-for tenderness?
2. Are you careful never to criticize her before others?
3. Do you give her money to spend entirely as she chooses, above household expenses?
4. Do you make an effort to understand her varying feminine moods and help her through periods of fatigue and irritability?
5. Do you share at least half of your recreation hours with your wife?
6. Do you tactfully refrain from comparing your wife with your mother or ex-girlfriends?
7. Do you take a definite interest in her intellectual life, her clubs and societies, the books she reads, her views on civic problems?
8. Can you let her receive friendly attention from other men without making jealous remarks?
9. Do you keep alert for opportunities to praise her and express your admiration for her?
10. Do you thank her for the little jobs she does for you, such as sewing on a button, darning your socks, and sending your clothes to the cleaners?
For Wives
1. Do you give your husband complete freedom in his business affairs, and do you refrain from criticizing his associates, or the hours he keeps?
2. Do you try your best to make your home interesting and attractive?
3. Do you make special effort to cook his favorite dishes?
4. Do you have an intelligent grasp of your husband's business so you can discuss it with him helpfully?
5.Can you meet financial reverses bravely, cheerfully, without criticizing your husband for his mistakes or comparing him unfavorably with more successful men?
6. Do you make special effort to get along amiably with his mother and other relatives?
7. Do you dress with an eye for your husband's likes and dislikes in colour and style?
8. Do you compromise little differences of opinion in the interest of harmony?
9. Do you make an effort to learn games of your husband like, so you can share his leisure hours?
10. Do you keep track of the day's news, the books, and new ideas, so you can hold your husband's intellectual interest?
