Learning from other people's mistakes

"The 'Tiger Woods' of Singapore," screams the headlines on Yahoo Singapore today. "Localmedia are comparing Jack Neo to Tiger Woods even as a Minister wades into the controversy."

We are all trying to make the best of our marriages and maintain the love and affection that compelled us to take our vows in the 1st place. Whether we are high-profile celebrities or just hard-working everyday people, all of us, at some point of our lives, will find ourselves face-to-face with the choices that can save or break our marriages.

One big danger is letting problems go unresolved and unnoticed. All couples must grapple with the same issues and concerns. The only difference is that some couples take the necessary steps to address and solve their conflicts while others wait until it's too late - in other words, until divorce is their only option.

I learn from everyone who has lost in the marriage game and try to understand the factors contributing to their divorces. I learn from their mistakes so as not to let them become my own.
