Q Any advice for couples embarking on a life together?
Yes, Remember you love each other, of all the people in the world, you found each other! Sometimes everyday life gets in the way. During these times, endeavor to embrace the all of your partner. We are not our worries or our moments of anger or cranky attitudes. In truth, the person whom you may be frustrated or angry with in the moment is still that wonderful person you stood with on your wedding day. Look beyond the present moment; reach out to your partner, with love and understanding. Talk gently and respectfully to find a solution to life’s challenges, be patient with each other and don’t forget to keep the romance in your marriage. And remember to laugh and share precious time together. You are a family now, embrace it.
