Men Are Computers, Women Are Cell Phones
Interesting article from preachingtoday.com:
.......
How many other wives have seen their husbands processing information when suddenly their "screen saver" kicks on? There are times, however, when something seems to happen to his internal processor. Everything locks up, and I feel as if I need to, well, reboot. It's as if I'm living with a computer!
Funny thing is, Richie tells me he's living with a cell phone.
The night he arrived home late, he'd had a long, problem-filled day at work. He'd been looking forward to coming home, to his refuge where he could simply veg out and not have to think.
As he opened the front door, his peace bubble exploded into an outline of the evening's agenda.

Only a learning process?
SG was talking with some friends. One was considering whether to continue his relationship with the present girlfriend or not. There seems to be another lady in the picture too.
One advice another friend gave was that there's no perfect match in this world. He spoke from his happy marriage that we shouldn't believe in "made in heaven" or "heavenly matched". Hence, we shuold change our mindset that marriage is a goal. Rather, it's all a process, of learning to accommodate and grow together. And marriage is also the coming together of two families.
SG believe in some truth in this talk. He thought it may not be a complete picture too. A good illustration is an author writing a book. An author must start with an ending in mind. Yes, the ending may change as the author writes & gets new ideas. Still, he has an ending and works towards it.
Therefore, marriage is both a learning process & a goal too.
Oh yes, another word for "love" is "commitement", esp in marriage.

New York Times: Questions Couples Should Ask (Or Wish They Had) Before Marrying
Interesting article.

Don't agree on all of them. And think only need to include what are the religious expectations too. e.g. if one is anti-religion-X and the other is pro-religion-X, things can get nasty, especially religion for the kids.
Some interesting comments too on another blog with refering to this article:
