Falling in love is always magical. It feels eternal. We naively believe that somehow we are exempt from the problems our parents had, free from the odds that love will die, assured that it is meant to be we are destined to live for ever, happily ever after.

好的心意仍嫌不够
恋爱总是奇异的，它让人感到永恒，好像爱情至死不渝。我们天真地相信自己可以避免父母亲会有的问题，不会遇上爱情死亡的机会，确信爱情就是两人在一起，注定永远快乐的共同生活。

But as the magic recedes and daily life takes over, it emerges that men continue to expect women to think and react like men, and women expect men to feel and behave like women. We don't take the time to understand and respect each other. We become demanding, resentful, judgmental and intolerant.

但当日子一天大过去，奇异的感觉减少，男人期待女人以男人的方式思想和行动，女人期待男人以女人的方式感觉和表现的态度就原形毕露了。若没有清楚了解我们的不同，我们就不会花时间彼此了解和尊重，反而会变得不断要求、愤恨、冲动、主观和固执己见。
