We all know what winter is, it is very cold and icy and you may need to wear several layers of warm clothing's and thermal under wears. Luckily I live in the tropics where it is summer all the year round.
If you are just married, then it is bright summer.Winter comes when you both morphed ,one into a fridge and the other the air-con. Both blowing strong and cold winds at each other.Could be a perfect storm in the making or a blinding blizzard or an avalanche.
Conflicts in marriages are bound to happen as you do not see eye to eye with your spouse.He has his perspective and it is different from yours,and when both don't give way,something got to break.
Your love for each other went out through the windows or through the chimney, burnt and smokey. Love died and you begin to see each others imperfections.
You love each other and want the other to be happy but the devil seems to block your good intentions and what comes out is devil woman at war with Frankenstein man. You cannot talk his language and neither does he understands your language.
It becomes like a cat and a dog fight.No one want to give way.Going for broke.You scratch him viciously and he barks and may bite you back .Perhaps his bark is worse than his bite.
If it is a long winter, one or both of you will go hibernate like the bears for six months..Do not worry, winter will soon be over.. Just wait for the summer to come again ,it will..
One of you will change your attitudes and warms the icy snows that has formed a thick wall between you two.
Both of you will be tired and had enough of each other.There is a time for everything. A time to sow and a time to reap.The suffering takes it's toll and the fire is doused.
The cycle of love and hate will turn again when you reach the bottom , the nadir of despair or the mother of all despairs in your relationship. You will realize your follies and mistakes and try to make up or agree with your other partners viewpoints. Then you will have more positive thoughts than negative thoughts and you will learn your spouse’s love language and rub his back and warm his heart.
Winter will soon be over when the sun comes up again..
If you have winter now in your home, don't despair , just ride out the storm , don't leave but burrow deeper into your home ..Chinese (Cantonese) say "Teng ngan siong or chang lok hei!"

What makes a girl tick ?
When you have found the girl of your dreams and suddenly you become dumbstruck , tongue tight and lost at sea. What are you going to do or say to her ? You are fearful of losing her and worry and fret a lot .
She is so different from you and you want to present yourself in the best light to her and treat her with velvet gloves.There are certain keys which can open her door to you if you use the right words and right actions.
Praises, compliments and flattery will open many doors. Being told one is pretty or beautiful always work. You will put her in the proper frame of mind and she will see things positively about you.
Take good notice of any changes in her hairstyle or any new things about her. It shows that you are paying particular attentions to her.
Give her positive comments over it. She wants to be noticed and validate her feelings.
Look for a common interest as you get to know more about her. Share your feelings and talk to her but not too many of your secrets as she will find it no more interesting about you.
Be nice to her and act in a confident manner.Be supportive of her in whatever she does.The worst thing is finding someone who does not swim with you but against you. They do get personal most of the time.They are not like men who can compartmentalize and separate the real issues.
Make her feel that she is more important than your other friends and she will always come first.She will notice that even if she did not tell you.
If you want her attentions , you should stay away from other girls or try not to be too cozy with others as there could be other preying eyes who may tell on her.Pay particular attentions to those girls she dislikes or hates. That is like entering a mine field.
At some stage of your relationship, she may get mad at you but you should hold your fire and not get mad back. You will make it worse if you fight fire with fire.
You not only will not solve the problem but will create more problems and lead to a break up as in most cases or a freeze in your relationship.
If you are mad, don't take it out on her. You will make her cry and may hurt her and end of your dream.
Someone has to give way and unfortunately it will be you . You should take the brunt and absorb it like a good sponge. Never argue with her, treat it like another perspective .
You know the truth and just let it go. It is not important and not worth to win on issues and make an enemy of her.She will later find out the truth and come around.
If you know she likes you and you love her, then tell her but not otherwise as you will scare her away if she is not ready for it.
Be careful of how you treat others in her presence. You will be judged and she will see your true self through the way you treat others. Today others and tomorrow it will be her.
Good luck and with that , you should have the master key to open her many doors to her heart.
