Talk about your newlywed life.

I lived with my parents before I tied the knot. Living with my husband after we got married took some getting used to at first. Two people from different backgrounds had to adjust to each other, so we had to talk it out a lot.

We are a double-income couple, so first we hashed out the details of dividing the household chores. For example, my husband gets off work earlier, so he cooks dinner. I clean up and do the dishes. After dinner, we watch TV together, or enjoy alone time separately.

On weekends, we do the housework that we put off and clean the house thoroughly. Then, we cook something delicious or play games together. Staying indoors because of COVID-19 has made us feel pent-up, but I am happy to spend my days at home with my husband.

How long has it been since you tied the knot?

It's been 2 months now.

Oh, so you're still newlyweds.

That's right. It still hasn't really sunk in.

You must be making a lot of adjustments to live together.

Sure. We come from different backgrounds. Sometimes we don't see eye to eye.
