Getting to Know Your Spouse
I have always heard people say that you've never really known your partner until after you live under the same roof. Everyday, there is just a lot of things to discover about your husband or wife. Like how long he takes to take a bath, whether he knows how to cook or not, or if he reads the Bible before he goes to sleep. There are a lot of surprises that you may not have known while dating.

It is really surprising to get to know your spouse as the years go by. It doesn't take only months but years in the making. Sometimes it is hard to understand each other especially if the two of you come from very different and opposite way of family life.

There is a lot to discover. There are a lot of things that there is no way you could possibly know about each other until you are living under the same roof every day.

Well... the old folks always say "xiang chu rong yi tong zhu nan". Always hard to live together with another person. Lots of conflict. Just a matter of how to resolve it or tolerate.

Agreed with all of you.
Agreed with all of you. Marriage life is very different from being single. And after single for so long, will need time to adjust the pace.

Guys I could not help
Guys I could not help reading this thread which is definitely very interesting. A colleague of mine many years ago used to tell me, when you are married, you have to consider the consequence of your actions towards your spouse, because at the end of the day, you will have to go back to the same house, same room, same bed, same person. The question is are you ready to go on with a cold war, or are you ready to resolve the differences the moment you open your apartment or house doors? It's definitely true that once you start living under the same roof with the person you thought you knew very well, you will be surprised that you had just started pre-school lessons when it comes to working out the indifferent habits of the 2 individuals coming together to share a life in unison. You can walk away from a girlfriend or boyfriend, stay away for a while, and start afresh with the same person or someone new. Marriage is a commitment where we have to keep no matter the consequences. It's a penultimate test of patience, understandings, accommodating each other, and getting used keeping an eye closed to habits that you may not agree upon. Its a totally new and exciting chapter in our lives where we start to learn about the other half all over again!
