Family harmony starts with the twosomes - the married couple. Let's share this article titled "Do you know how to love your better half?". Following is an extract from the English translation of the Family Life Education displays put up by the Family Welfare Society at Family Carnival held on the Mother's Day on May 8 at PSRC.

It was bliss to me to have met you;

I call you just to hear your voice;

I appreciate all you have done for me and will not take it for granted;

I surprise you on your birthday;

I am always on your side when you are depressed, ill, or down to support you;

I will say sorry when I am wrong;

I will take time for a kiss and hug;

I treasure all that you have given me;

My actions are always in consideration for the best interest of both of us;

I try to please you with little things in life;

I show my true self with you at all times;

I will not fight or quarrel with you in front of others;

I will think in terms of your position and put myself in your shoes;

I trust you with all my heart;

My act will show my care and affection to you;

You can feel my warmth with my surprise midnight snacks for you.
