Hello everybody!

I know some of here are married, or into relationship status. Actually, I haven't heard of any new marriage rules, as long as my husband and I are doing great then no point of setting rules. But then, one day as I was cleaning my stuff at home, suddenly an old magazine caught my attention. So, I sat down for a while and scanned the contents of magazine. It is more of marriage, parenting and fashion issues. Then I found this article saying there is a new marriage rules. Hmmn, I am curious, so after cleaning I read this article. It reveals what it really takes to keep couples united and happy most especially to young couples ( like me) hehehehe. 

Here's the latest marital trends and guidelines to stay in sync with your better half. To make your wedded life work better according to the article I read.

1. OLD RULE : Spend all your leisure time together. And be suspicious if your spouse wants away- from- you time.

    NEW RULE : Occasionally go out with friends - without your spouse. It's normal and even necessary, and will enrich your marriage.
