Rose
This photo was taken in a networking event called -!Hola¡ Barcelona with 15000 strong crowd of Barcelonian by choice and Barcelonian by birth. I am with my magical partner in crime, Flo. He was the MC (master of ceremony) that night thus the microphone. We both are members of Barcelona Global, the organiser of the event. This networking activity is one of our passion we enjoy together.
Our love is magic!

Why Magic for Couples
Why not?
A few weeks ago, our friend Tony, a fantastic business coach and the founder of Lifestyle DMC, expert in corporate events, reminded me of Loss Aversion. According to Wikipedia, it refers to people’s tendency to prefer avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. In this context, he asked me in his deep voice, “Rose, without Magic for Couples, how many couples you will not be able to help them in fulfilling a magical relationship?
A few days ago, Javi, my gardener, shared with me “Yoga for lower back pain” by Xuan Lan. It had helped relieve his back pain. I have slipped disc as well, and it causes lower back pain whenever I make a wrong move. Suppose Xuan Lan had not made that knowledge available, Javi would not be able to do heavy gardening. I will have to stay in bed for weeks. How many couples will I miss out helping in keeping their magic alive? How many couples will I miss out in bringing them smiles, a relationship full of vitality? Tony has a point.
The moment of anagnorisis! I wish my parents knew about keeping the magic alive, and possibly I would not have suffered so much as a child. Looking ahead, wow, I thought, what if other couples knew about Magic for Couples? How many couples can benefit from Magic for Couples?
There is a caveat though, Magic for Couples does not intend to replace a therapist in solving. Magic for Couples does not defy divorce as it could be a door to a new magical relationship. Magic for Couples gives you exercises to train your magic muscles in your day-to-day in keeping the magic alive in your relationship.
The birth of Magic for Couples
Flo and I, we have known each other 13 years. He is a divorcee with a son. I have been through 3 serious relationships. 2 of which I could have married. I can call myself an unofficial two-timer divorcee.
He is a German, and I am an Asian. He is extrovert. I am introvert. He is loud. I am quiet. We both are hard-headed. How do we keep up our magic?
I must admit over the years we have faced many challenges just as any other couples. We have experimented and invented a set things we do. I can call them a set of exercises and tools. There is no doubt that we will face challenges in the future. We desire, not only for our friends but other couples around the world, to be able to get hold of this knowledge and keep up their magic.
Summer 2020 we would have our official wedding. Due to the pandemic outbreak, we have had to postpone it to next year 2021. These exercises would be vital to us to keep up the magic, otherwise there won’t be any wedding.
What other better ways to walk the journey with you in keeping the magic alive in our relationship?
