Goals and expectations in Marriage talk by Ms Theresa Bung

Many a times, we set goals for our career and finances but how many of us actually set goals for marriages? Well, I for one don't. So when my friend, Lis emailed me one day asking if I wanted to go for this talk, I agreed. From the talk, we realized that most people put in a lot of effort just to create that grand and expansive wedding but after spending all their lifetime's savings for the wedding, they got nothing left. Don't forget this, a wedding is only for a day but a marriage is for a lifetime. So it's more important to plan on the marriage instead. A lot of questions have to be discussed with your other half. Questions like Where do live after married? Who do the household chores? etc. We were asked to set our goals and expectations and I listed the following.

Goals

1. To get married before 30. 

2. To have at least 2 kids. 

3. Whole family to go for holiday once a year. 

Expectations

1. The other half to share the household chores together

2. The other half to remember important dates and celebrates with me. 

3. Stick together for good times and bad.

约定 - 周蕙

"你我约定难过的往事不许提

也答应永远都不让对方担心

要做快乐的自己 照顾自己

就算某天一个人孤寂

你我约定一争吵很快要喊停

也说好没有秘密彼此很透明

我会好好地爱你 傻傻爱你

不去计较公平不公平"
