“It’s a wonderful, wonderful life…” – indeed it is. I have had a magical week with my most precious person…It was a happy time throughout the entire time, whether we were sitting at home, doing basically nothing, or cooking together, or cleaning, or just looking at each other…This was a major test for me, especially the part where he eats my Moldovan cooking or notJ)). Any woman in this part of the world knows the saying: ‘The path to a man’s heart is through his stomach!’’J))). The questions was whether Moldovan cuisine can conquer the heart of a man from Japan, who are virtually not used to the heavy food we have. It was double stress for me because he is also a cook….ahhh….while cooking I was very nervous. If you wonder…he did eat it….:))))! This made me very happy! During the entire stay we only had one fight and that happened because of a misunderstanding, a translation problem. The important thing is that though I was very upset for some time, I did not let it eat away at me and decided to give him the benefit of a doubt. This is a problem that may occur frequently in a mixed couple. Most importantly, please have the patience to listen to your partner, even if at times you do not want to. Listening to one another is crucial, but when your partner is a foreigner there might be some differences in the meaning of the words and expressions he uses, so pay twice as much attention to what he says. Listen not only with your ears but also with your heart.
