Remember your friends

"My husband gets so excited meeting all his old friends," Seok Lian told us at the conclusion of the ACTA CU1 course. "He becomes like a little child."

In the excitement of becoming a couple, some people make a serious mistake: they forget about their friends, or even siblings. Friendship has always been seen as a casual thing, people fill in time with until one finds one's "true love". Friends were for chatting to at BBQs, to sell Amway to and to have over for a game of cards.


The dramatic fact is this: the couple or family in isolation does not work.


The lesson is simple: don't abandon your friends nor siblings in the rush to couplehood. And don't marry someone who expects that- in exchange for love - you will drop all your friends or siblings. For better or worse, you will always need them.
