Dr. Phil

Since coming to Canada, I've been able to watch alot of talk shows. Among the various talk shows here, two of my favs are "Dr. Phil" and "Oprah Winfrey". "Dr. Phil" always has interesting topics of real life stories of families, marriage, social issues..and infact, after every show, I always walked away gaining alot more knowledge about life..

I wish that back home in Singapore, there will be more of such shows..they are informative, reflective and the fact that these people (Dr. Phil and Oprah) have both used their fame to give back to the society and do good for the people who really need them.

Was reading Dr. Phil's website where there was one section on "marriage", when one of the points he brought up "Falling in love and being in love is different", "falling in love is only the first stage of love"..hmm..Food for tots..

I suppose for most people, the starting pt of a relationship is to "fall in love" first and then "be in love". Ever tot if people will "be in love" first before they "fall in love"? such as those in arranged marriages? They make a committment to "be in love" with each other..before slowly "falling in love" with each other..make sense? Is "falling in love and being in love different"? yes i think so, and is "falling in love is only the first stage of love"? I make a pt, what do u think?

"Dr. Phil" website is really informative and I hope to share with you guys out there "newly weds, married-for-decades, thinking-of-marriage", do have a read, Knowledge is Power. However, like any other things, putting theories into practice is never easy....
