| PLAY Scrabble using only loving words. Share a sausage from opposite ends. Give a bottle of tabasco with a note 'U R HOT!'
These are some of the '365 tips for love to work' available on marriagecentral.sg launched on Thursday. The website by Marriage Central bills itself as a one-stop portal for marriage-related information and programmes. The organisation, which was started by the National Family Council in 2008 and supported by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports, is also partnering voluntary welfare organisations that offer pre-marital and marital counselling. Its website targets web-savvy couples who are contemplating marriage, newly-weds and those who have been married for some time. It is divided into three sections – When I fall in love, It takes two and Eternal Flame – to cater to couples in different stages of their relationships. Said Marriage Central Executive Director Christopher Ang: “It reinforces the whole marriage eco-system. We take care of those planning marriage, those beginning marriage and those who have been married for a while." Couples can find suggestions for romantic dates, get advice for relationship problems by emailing experts, read stories about real-life loving couples, sign up for marriage preparation or marriage enrichment courses, or pre-marital and marital counselling, among other things. Ms Anita Fam, who chairs Marriage Central’s 11-member advisory board, said the organisation will be establishing physical points where marriage-related information will be offered. At least one spot will be ready by end of the year. Marriage Central will also be holding a series of activities under its tagline, Real Love Works, from Saturday. Over 1,000 couples will set off thousands of heart-shaped balloons at the city reservoir, Marina Barrage on that day. A marriage convention will also be held on March 28 and 29 for the public.
