4 'P's to Being the Perfect Partner

For all you married/going-to-be-married readers. Picked this up from Straits Times, that pantheon of quotable quotes.


Prioritise

Put your spouse first. Children are leasehold - only for 18 years - while your spouse is freehold (free to hold any time too).


Publicise

Communicate your feelings to each other regularly; share your hopes, even fears. This helps you stay in touch and in sync with each other.


Participate

Be involved in your spouse's life by spending time together. This can range from enjoying a movie date, belting out loves songs to each other at a karaoke joint or even playing badminton (or Xbox) together.

The couple that plays together, stays together.


Praise

Affirm your spouse through words or even actions. Building people up makes them feel good about themselves and about the person who lavishes attention on them.
