Ancient Chinese Secrets For A Lasting Marriage Or Relationship

Posted on February 19, 2018 by blogger

Are most long married couples unhappy with their relationship? This is the question that has being bugging me for a while. As a Feng Shui consultant, I come across many clients with less than happy marriages. Many times my clients will ask me for a secret cure or recommendation that would miraculously improve their relationship with their spouse.

So, I asked a few of my married friends for their opinion. I chose this select group because they are older – over fifty years old – and have been married for many years. Their answer was quite shocking- to me. Based on their personal experience and those of their friends, they think that 90% of married couples are, in one way or another, unhappy with their relationships.

Granted that they do not live happily ever after, as in the fairy tales, this is still quite sad if it is indeed true.

Is there a cure? Maybe there is.

In many olden societies, such as the Chinese, where arranged marriages are commonplace, it is a practice to check the horoscope (Ba Zi) of the intended couple for compatibility, before they are allowed to tie the knot.

Does this always work? It increases the chance but it does not work all the time. However through years of observation, they found out that if you combine it with some conditions, you can increase the chances of having a happy and lasting marriage.

While this wisdom is for everyone, it is even more critical for those with a history of unsuccessful marriages or relationships, to take note.

Here are some of the conditions.

In the old days, the husband must always be older than the wife. This is like a tradition. It cannot and should not be broken. However the ancients also observed that for those with unsuccessful marriages or relationships, breaking the tradition – i.e. having an older wife can strangely be the answer. To the ancient Chinese, the wife is considered older even if she is a day older than the husband. However for better results, a wider age gap is preferred.

The other option for a more successful relationship is for the husband to be much older than the wife. To the ancient Chinese, much older means at least 8 years apart. In practice, 10 or 15 years older is perfectly acceptable or desired.

It would also increase the chances if there is a big disparity in the social and economic standard between the husband and the wife. For example the husband is a highly educated CEO of a large corporation while the wife is a much lesser educated person from a poor family. Can it be the other way around? It is unlikely in the old days because the husband is always the breadwinner. However in this modern times, where many women out-earn their husbands, why not?

This next condition only applies to the woman at least in the old days. If she cannot be a successful first wife, it does not mean that she cannot be successful being the second or third one. So, being the other women can be an option that leads to success! I am not sure about being the other man though!

What if none of the above works?

The final option is to have a spouse that is of a different race or from a different culture. For example, an Indian and a Chinese or between two Chinese brought up in different places. For example, one brought up in China and in the other in the United States.

These are wisdoms that our forefathers have passed down to us. So, and especially, if you are relationship challenged, give it a try. There is nothing to lose!

What Your Bedroom Says About You

Posted on February 16, 2018 by blogger

A bedroom can say a lot about the person or people living in it. Everything from the dcor to the layout of the furniture can affect the feng shui of the room. Going to sleep and waking up in the same bedroom everyday can be tedious and boring unless the room is properly set up. Bedrooms should be a place of comfort and rest, as well as allow free movement and space to interact within it. Things like windows and overhead lighting also add to a bedrooms appeal. When walking into someones bedroom, the first thing people tend to realize is what it says about the person living in it.

The color of the walls is usually the first and most important appeal factor. Brightly colored walls signify peace and tranquility, while darker colored walls stand for rest and quietness. Gender is often portrayed through wall color as well; bedrooms for infants are a perfect example of this, blue for boys and pink for girls. Walls with art or pictures on them may mean the inhabitant wants to feel away from themselves when alone or resting. Landscapes are typically used to achieve this. Beach painted walls or flower wallpaper can be very relaxing and make the owner feel at ease when in their own quarters.

Furniture is also very important when it comes to bedrooms. Antiques make great conversation pieces and can make the room feel very at home. Modern furniture is becoming very popular in bedrooms; chic downtown condominiums are rarely found without a computer desk or colorful lighting. The placement of the furniture also has a lot to do with a room. Having a bed beside a window may make the owner more at ease with their surroundings, allowing them to fall asleep and wake up to the world around them. Curtains over a bed on the other hand allow the owner to sleep in peace and by themselves.

Lastly, flooring is very important. Most bedrooms are carpeted. There are so many different designs and types of carpet, its impossible to overlook when entering a bedroom. Wood flooring is also common, and goes great with wood furniture. Some bedrooms have throw rugs as well, which may serve as places for pets to sleep or play as well as provide easy cleaning options when vacuuming or maintaining a room. Overall, a bedroom is a place that someone comes to live with. Over time, they adapt to it and it becomes a haven of sorts for expression and self representation.
