Ciao! I'm from Europe and my mother-tongue is not English – so please my spelling errors!

I'm in my twentys and in best hands. Also we have our ups and downs, so I found this page asking questions myselfe.

I'm Christian and so I may seem to be quite conservative. In my free time I read a lot of books about relationship and marriage. I believe that in christianity – also it may seems to be a very old-fashioned perspective – this is a very honest perspective and it really helps for a good relationship. For me what is normal for most people today seems to be very selfish. One should try to look away from oneself and try to do best for the others. On the other hand I very much like to talk to other people, friends, singles and married couple and especially to my grandmother, which was very happy married for 60 years (my grandfather just died a month after their diamond wedding).

Therefore not everything I write is my own experience, but I'm sure it is honest. I write what I think and what I learned. I can't say if the advice I give is always helpful. It also could be because of my language that I don't always find the right words for my sentence and so it could be that you don't understand what I meant to say. And it is probable not always what you want to hear, but it is one point of view and I hope it will at least be thought-provoking. You can always write a message to ask!

I can learn from other peoples answers and would like to learn from your comments as well. So I would love to hear your comments on some of the advice i have given.
