Ten
couples learnt the secrets to a lasting relationship
and strengthened theirs at the Truly, Madly, Deeply
Marriage Seminar held in August 2002. It was organised
by the Singapore Armed Forces Personnel Services
Centre, the social activity and welfare arm of
the Ministry of Defence, for newly-weds, long-time
couples as well as those who were planning to get
married.

Goh and his wife, Annie, exchanged
their marriage vows. |

Mrs Joyce Ewing-Chow, an experienced
family life trainer, shared the secrets to
a strong union, such as ways to keep the flame
burning and tips on handling conflicts. During
the seminar,
those yet to be married exchanged love letters and the married ones renewed
their marriage vows.
Feedback was very favourable. Said Capt Goh, “The seminar was an
opportunity to spend time with my spouse. We have both benefited from this
as we are now
more aware of the importance of listening to and understanding each other.
The renewal of our marriage vows was very meaningful to us as it reminded
us of the need to love and protect each other no matter the situation.”
Ms Janice Lim also enjoyed and benefited from the seminar. “The most
meaningful part of the seminar was the love letter writing session. If this
wasn’t in the programme, I wouldn’t have known that love letters
are important and can strengthen and add sparks to a relationship,” she
said.
Ms Angeline Pang added, “Marriage needs to be kept alive through many
little things and in little ways. It’s important to keep the passion
and intimacy alive.” |
