Identifying the root cause

I accompanied Yim to the wedding fair in Corpthorne Waterfront.

Take a look at the average wedding picture. Husband and wife are beaming - their faces wreathed in big window smiles. They radiate happiness.

What happened in just a few short months or years? The smiles are no longer there. Frustration and disappointment have set in.

My ex AMEX friend Eric couldn't manage money. Ryan couldn't hold a job for long. For Lena it was a meddling mother-in-law. As for CD, they just didn't get on well together.

The way I see it, a lack of loving, thoughtful communication is one of those telltale signs of a failing relationship.
