10 commandments

Was looking around for a song and bump across this, find it rather interesting and tot it might be a good way to measure ourselves...

1. Love Comes First: In brief, by loving your spouse first and foremost. (But is this possible?)

2. Narrow the Gulf: Both are difference, so be ready to overlook the sharp differences, lapses or shortcomings. (But it seems pretty common when one party expect the changes of the others party in order to "suit" him/herself. Seen a lot, heard a lot)

3. Forgive & Forget: To forgive is divine, and keep doing it, even if you have to repeat this process for infinite times. (In my personal opinion, Forgive may be easy, but forget??? Hmmm...)

4. Begin the Day Cool: Early in the morning, both to try to remain calm and cool. No discussions or arguments in the early morning hours. (This is pretty easy, just shut up and chill)

5. Silence Can Save: Be at your best behavior. If one of you is provoked or complains, silence is the best answer. (Radio silence or cold war for a day???:p)

6. Inquire & Appreciate: You must show your genuine appreciation and sympathy. Top it with a pleasant smile. (I guess this is important else one may feels he/she be taken for granted.)

7. Listen & Sympathize: Do listen to your spouse attentively and sympathetically. Never ignore. Even at your place of work, if you get a telephone call from your partner, be polite and courteous, in spite of your busy schedule... Guess this mean being a good listener (most importantly, dun fall asleep listening:p)

8. Don't Forget to Compliment: Be generous in your praise and compliments. (This is easy too!!!)

9. Don't Compare: Do not enter into comparisons. No one is 100% perfect or 100% imperfect. We Always look at the good qualities of your spouse. (sounds like point #2)

10. Keep Smiling: Be cheerful and smile away your problems. Just keep smiling! (Smile:))

So wondering if I have commits any of the above??? Time to review myself via 闭关修炼.
