“Tidying up with Marie Kondo” might have been the best TV show on Netflix during MCO 3.0 in Malaysia. I strongly recommend this show to my clients and friends especially those who tend to tie the knot during this pandemic. It is never too late to watch and learn something before you enter your marriage life.
One of the trends I have observed as of late is that many couples have been omitting the fact that building up and maintaining a comfy home is one of the essential criteria for a steady marriage. I always tell my boyfriend that a luxury house with a great mess would not let a person feel comfortable to step into after a long day of work. However, a comfy little nest on the other hand makes me feel right at home after a rough day at work.
You may be able to spend few million dollars to have a luxury house, but you could not spend the same amount to have a home. Home is a place that you can have a sense of belonging and filled with love. Therefore, regardless the space is big or small, we shall make a lot of effort to build up a home that belongs to us once we have settled down with our partner.
Sad to say, there are too many young couples forced to work from days to nights and everyone has neglected that “tidying and cleaning up a home” shall be done everyday. Besides that, everyone who is sharing under the same roof shall be obligated and responsible to keep the house clean from time to time.
One of my friends, who is a CEO in a listed company, told me that he feels happy when he sees a table full of delicious dishes prepared by his wife after a long day in his office. However, his mood took an immediate turn when he was not able to find forks and spoons. After struggling to find the utensils, he had already lost his appetite.
On the same token, the CEO even shared with me that a messy company would not be successful. He told me: “I did not have the motivation to go to work because the internal management and the environment of my workplace is in the same mess as my home.” As a result, he purposely makes an effort to seek for advice from friends to teach his maids and family members to tidy up every single corner of his mansion properly.
Equally important, if all of us make a habit to keep compiling all our stuff together, choose to keep those which sparks joy at least once a month, then we would save a lot of money. We could even stop our hoarding behaviour that will bring more mess than good to our comfy home.
A picture is worth a thousand words. I guess the above photo can physiologically change a person’s mood. Therefore, a tiny gritty nitty thing can change your marriage and relationship too! So please do not omit it!
Lots of love,
