Covid rekindles that loving feeling

A Chinese saying advises "to keep a man, look after his stomach" - and that's what a couple found out during the Covid pandemic.

The wife, Eunice, who works from home, says she has more time to cook dinner immediately after work - and the husband, Sam, is delighted to find dinner ready when he comes home.

The couple, who have been married for seven years, are forging a stronger bond during Covid even though they are unable to travel and dine out less often.

Working from home has allowed the wife to save commuting time and prepare dinner to welcome her husband when he returns from work.

The couple, who had often quarreled and almost ended up getting divorced, also joined activities organized by Caritas Hong Kong, including yoga classes, pictured, and a two-day camp, during which they learned to understand and be grateful for each other.

Meanwhile, Caritas' family service has launched a new version of its mobile app for married couples, with a marriage-evaluation test that can refer them to free phone counseling services and new features including online registration.
