Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus
Spotted a great article on Newsweek: Staying Together, Living Apart
This couple is married, lived in the same building but different apartments. The idea is to have more "me" time and 10 minutes in the toilet doesn't come close to privacy. I thought this is a fantastic idea. Though staying away from home takes away the comforts I'm so used to, it reduces the frequency of conflicts. I suppose there's a positive correlation between time spent together and occurence of conflicts. However, a life without conflicts could be really dull.
There was a discussion on "Types of man to avoid" on radio this morning. A radio dj said, "Never fall prey to the dark silent hawk - men with a cold glint in their eyes who scrimp on proper conversations, rich or devastatingly gorgeous they are - avoid them at all costs. It was a Chinese programme. The rough summary is as follows:
深沉的男人有阴沉的心。婚前女人为他的冷绝孤傲着迷，虽然男人不曾对她甜言蜜语。婚后男人依然沉默。妻子形影不离的追随丈夫的心，终究还是失败了。有一天夫妻站在秋天洋溢的花园里。丈夫淡淡的说：“秋天来了。” 曾经女人会为了男人的主动而受宠若惊，晚上睡不着觉。这时成熟聪明的女人翻了个白眼说道：“废话！” 男人看傻了眼。 两年后，他们离婚了。妻子的婚后感想是深沉的男人有病。和他们相处久了自己也会变得沉默寡言。 所以爱说话的阳光女孩切误入歧途！This week's reading list: Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus by John Gray. :)
