House or Home
Starting a family... it's a very exciting thought.
The house, the deco, the tons of stuff to buy to make it into
a home, your very own address, the wedding, the kids and of
course the headaches when it comes to bills, installment plans,
never-ending signing of cheques, the horror of seeing your bank
account and your cpf heading south overnight but last and most
importantly... your other significant half.
Whether all the above weighs in favour of a pleasant &
memorable experience or a nightmare solely rest on the 2
people in the middle of it.
Understanding... a simple word but a difficult action.
Fault-finding will never see any dead-end, with that in
mind... why not divert that attention to a person's positive
points instead? Those very same points that made each other
so attracted to another in the beginning.
Like some unwritten rule, most couples tend to nitpick on each
other once their so-called 'honeymoon' period are over. All they
see is what they do wrong.. but what about the rights?
Does 1 negative negates 10 positives?
That doesn't sound like quite a fair trade does it?
(Btw, this post doesn't stem from my personal experience.. it's just a thought.)

I am in the process of settling my home sweet home...what I can say is, it is fun even tough sometime feel the stress... :)
shopping for mattress, LCD tv bla bla...decide on the home deco, paint color, baby cot etc etc...
of cos money play an important role here...for us, we try to settle down with what we can afford first, and try to cut down the loan as much as possible...and also try our best to earn more for our family and future...
I always tell my baby that : daddy is working so hard for us, so we must learn to appreciate... haha
Everyone have their own +ve and -ve, accept the -ve point and appreciate more on the +ve point... :)
How long the 'honeymoon' period lasts depends on how much the couple wants to keep it for as long as they want. :)
Any monetary issues becomes a minute problem when both work it out together. Because the joy of having each other's company surpasses anything beyond it.
